A large black stone Shivling stands on a tiered black yoni-peetha base outdoors, decorated with a garland of red, white, yellow and green flowers wrapped around its upper half and two white banded markings on the shaft. A metal staircase with red-and-white floral garlands ascends to a platform beside the lingam, where several people in saffron-orange robes stand and attend to the lingam, one reaching to place a garland. Colourful festive bunting hangs along the brick wall at the right, and a tall decorated pole appears at the left under an overcast sky.
