A large grey Shivalinga stands on a circular base decorated with marigold and orange flower garlands, with a multicoloured floral garland draped down its side. On the raised platform beside it, a figure in a red-orange robe with a garland stands near the linga while others in saffron and orange clothing stand on the stairs and platform. Beneath, rows of white-clad devotees sit on red tiered steps, and several drummers in orange and red attire sit with large drums. A golden ratha-style canopy with hanging tassels rises above, with a crane and palm trees behind. The scene suggests abhishekam at a large outdoor shrine.
