A large grey stone lingam, the Shiva linga, stands on a raised platform, wrapped in multiple rows of flower garlands in red, yellow, white, green and purple. Three horizontal bands with a central disc mark its face. Atop the lingam, a man in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a long beard sits or stands among attendants, one in an orange turban beside him and another behind. A multicoloured fringed canopy hangs above them. Behind is a red multi-storey building with barred windows, a water tank and a metal railing.
