Outdoor photograph of a large dark black stone shivalinga covered with long garlands of marigolds and other flowers in yellow, red, purple and white. Behind it, a young man in a saffron-orange robe with a matching orange turban sits on a raised metal platform with railings, wearing a rudraksha mala. Beside him, a man in a white turban and white clothing sits in the background. The sky is pale and the scene suggests a ritual abhishekam-style decoration. Appearance-based label: a person is uncertain here, as only a saffron robe and turban are visible.
