Outdoor photo of a large grey stone Shivalingam wrapped in a thick looping garland of marigolds, roses and green leaves in red, yellow, white and green bands. A multicoloured fringed umbrella with a gold pole shades the scene. On a metal staircase beside it, several men in orange and saffron robes stand; the central figure has long dreadlocked hair and a red-brown cloth, another wears a beaded headband and red mala, and a man in a red-and-orange turban stands at the top. Ritual pooja of the lingam appears to be underway in a bright daytime setting with trees and a red building behind. Visible figures are about four.

Three men in saffron-orange robes stand on a metal scaffold beside it, two bald men in white and orange and a central man with long dark hair, a gold ornamental necklace and a multicolour flower garland, holding a small white vessel as they pour liquid over the lingam during abhishekam. Red and white drapes and orange floral garlands decorate the background, with flower petals scattered on the floor.

A man in a rust-orange sleeveless top with a rudraksha mala and a gold chain sits on a white metal platform beside it, one hand resting on the garland. Behind him, two men in saffron-orange dhotis stand on the platform and hold a large multicoloured ceremonial umbrella with tasselled edges above the scene. A metal staircase descends to the right under a pale sky. Kumkum and vibhuti marks are visible on several figures. The seated man's presence matches the page's a person mention, but his face and build alone are not enough to assert identity, so this is marked unsure.2018-01-01Outdoor photo of a large grey-brown Shiva lingam draped in layered garlands of marigold and red, white, yellow and green flowers, with a silver band around its base. Above, a man with long dark hair and a bare upper torso sits on a raised metal platform with railings, wearing an orange cloth, while a second person in orange robes is partly visible behind him. A multicoloured fringed parasol with tassels shades the scene against a pale blue sky, and trees and a tent appear in the background. The seated man may be a person, identified by long swept-back hair, bare-chested adornment and orange clothing, seated above the lingam as a ritual participant.2018-01-01 +1 copiesOutdoor photo of a large dark blue-grey Shiva lingam with a silver yoni-style base plate, decorated with a multicoloured flower garland arching over its top in red, yellow, orange, purple and white.
