Brick and red-painted buildings, a water tank and a blue sky form the backdrop. Two people stand far in the background at right. The appearance-based candidate is a seated figure with long hair and a shawl atop the linga, and the figure's visibility is limited.

Outdoor photo of a very large black Ananda Lingam, a tall polished black stone linga on a round black base, draped with a long garland of yellow and orange flowers.

On the platform, a man with long dark hair and a bare chest sits in orange clothing, holding a small object, while other figures in orange robes climb the staircase. The lingam sits in front of a row of small lingams set into a red brick wall, and a beige building stands to the right. The scene suggests an abhishekam ritual at the lingam, with several people in orange clothing present.
