A large grey stone Shivling, a cylindrical lingam on a lobed yoni-peetha base carved with petal patterns, stands outdoors on a concrete floor during sculpting or preparation. Palm fronds and wooden crating surround it, with a wooden pallet frame and stacked planks behind. A horizontal tripundra-like carved mark with a central line decorates the lingam shaft. No people are visible; the scene is a workshop yard for sacred sculptures.
