A large black stone Shivling on a circular black yoni-peetha base, decorated with a multicolored flower garland wrapped down its length, stands at a riverside ghat. Several saffron-robed priests stand on a metal staircase platform beside it, some holding up ritual objects and others with hands joined in prayer, with rudraksha malas visible on their necks. Red brick steps behind them hold rows of small oil lamps, and additional saffron-clad figures stand at the upper steps.
