A photograph of a Shiva lingam decorated for worship, set against dark foliage at night. The lingam is a tall glass-like cylinder rising from a gilded base, framed by a large arch of white jasmine garlands alternating with red and yellow marigold strands, with green leaves and a gold crown-like top above. Two bare-chested or white-clad figures are partially visible at the left and right edges, one a shaved-headed man in white at the far right. No central figure is visible. The scene suggests a night puja or abhishekam at a temple.
