A large grey Shiva lingam stands on a black stepped yoni-pitha base, decorated with a multicoloured garland of marigolds and flowers arched over its top and silver bands around its middle. Several men in saffron and orange robes stand on a metal staircase and railing beside it, one in a red-and-gold shawl with a long garland and beaded necklaces, another holding a white cloth, with others behind. A man in orange at the lower left descends the steps. Red garlands drape the railing. Red brick steps and seated devotees in the background suggest an outdoor ritual abhishekam.
