A large black stone Shivling rises from a yoni-shaped base in an outdoor stadium-like setting with red-brown tiered seating and a tree behind. A metal staircase on the left leads up to the top of the Shivling, where a figure in white clothing stands near the top. Several people in white dhotis or white clothing stand on the ground and steps around the base, and a golden yoni-pitha emblem is attached to the base. The sky is pale with clouds.
