Night photograph of an outdoor event hall with a large floral arch garlanded in white, red, yellow and green blossoms around a black Shiva lingam. The lingam bears three horizontal white stripes and a white necklace, set against a blue and gold circular backdrop. In front stands a green cloth-draped platform with a yellow sash, a brass kalasha and a small silver-and-green deity murti garlanded with flowers. Rows of white-covered seats fill the foreground, arranged for a large gathering, with overhead lights and a wooden frame around the display.
