Several stone Shivalinga murtis sit on carved yoni-shaped pedestals on a weathered stone ledge, with grey cylindrical lingams and smooth circular bases. A small green plant grows from a crack between the stones, and a worn stone step and wall surround them in dim light. No people are visible; the scene looks like an outdoor ghat-side shrine in Varanasi.
