A large black polished Shiva lingam stands on a dark platform, encircled by a multicoloured flower garland of red, yellow, white, purple and green blooms arching over its top. Behind it a red-orange building with white-framed windows rises. On the left, two priests in saffron-orange dhotis and shawls stand on a metal railing platform; one has a white tilak and a white cloth on his head, the other wears beaded necklaces and gestures with his hand. Potted plants and seated figures in orange appear at the right and lower left edges.
