A man in a grey-and-white paint-splattered shirt and khaki trousers crouches on a tiered red-orange stone terrace, tending a row of black stone lingam shivalinga forms set on grey circular yoni-style bases. He holds a small red container and works near one of the bases. Dry yellow leaves are scattered across the steps, and rows of similar lingams extend up the stairway. A white bucket sits at the left edge, and a white-framed building stands behind. A single person is present.

A photograph of many rows of dark stone shivalingams set on tiered red-painted steps at an outdoor site. A worker in a pale pink shirt and white dhoti bends over at the front left, using a trowel to mix or spread grey mortar beside a lingam base, with a small red bucket nearby. Several lingams have round silver-grey yoni bases, and the rest have dark stone bases. A white metal railing runs along the left edge. The worker is the only visible person.

Trees and a black water tank appear behind the building.
