A large black Shiva lingam is draped in a thick garland of marigold-like flowers in yellow, orange, white, green, maroon and purple, with a silver-toned yoni-style base band. A man in an orange-red dhoti or wrap with gold bangles and a beaded necklace stands on a metal scaffold behind it, raising both hands to his head in reverence. Other figures in similar orange clothing are partly visible on the scaffold below. The setting appears to be an outdoor ritual abhishekam or puja with a clear sky behind.
