Night photograph of a large black Shiva lingam with white horizontal bands, draped with a garland of white flowers and red-orange marigolds. A man in a rust-orange turban and matching orange cloth, with a beaded necklace, stands on a raised steel platform beside it, pouring or offering over the lingam. Behind him on the metal staircase, a second man with long hair and orange cloth stands at the railing, and others in white dhotis stand below holding brass vessels. Strings of lights glow along the wall in the background, and the dark sky surrounds the scene.
