A large dark stone Shiva lingam is adorned for a festival procession, wrapped in multicolored flower garlands of yellow, orange, red, green and white blossoms that arch over its top. A silver band with engraved patterns and a round silver disc encircles its base, and a golden pipe-like element projects from the crown. The lingam stands on a platform, with a metal scaffold railing visible at left and a blue sky behind. No people are clearly visible in the frame.
