A large black lingam stands in the foreground on a red-tiered stage, draped with a long garland of red, yellow, white and purple flowers. Two standing men are behind it: one in a red and gold-trimmed garment with a gold necklace and long dark hair, and a bald man beside him with a dark shawl and beaded necklace. Behind them a red and white draped backdrop and bunting hang along a metal railing. Seated on the steps are about two dozen people in white clothes with red lanyards, plus a few in dark jackets, watching the lingam. A speaker sits at the right edge.
