A large dark stone Shiva lingam is adorned with garlands of marigold, white and multicoloured flowers, and a horizontal white and red tripundra-style decoration. Several men with bare upper bodies and orange-saffron dhotis stand on a metal scaffold beside the lingam; one pours liquid from a brass vessel over the stone during a Rudra Abhishekam. Garlands in orange, yellow, purple and green hang along the base, with red and white flags and a clear sky behind.
