Gold-trimmed white draping and sacks line the raised base, and red-and-white flags rise on tall poles along a dirt ground. Behind the lingams, a crowd of people in white and orange clothing stands beneath a tent canopy and trees under an overcast sky. A large statue of a deity is visible near the rear crowd, with brown thatched structures to the left.
