A large black dome-shaped linga stands in the foreground, draped with a long garland of marigolds and red, yellow, purple and white flowers. Two figures stand behind it: one in an orange-brown garment with a rudraksha mala and a flower garland, bowing over the linga, and another in a saffron-orange robe with a mala. A seated figure in saffron-orange clothing with a mala sits at the lower left beside a gold-patterned seat and brass pots. Red stepped seating and a white railing surround the open plaza, with onlookers in white and beige clothing behind the railing and a red-roofed building beyond.
