A large dark grey stone Shiva lingam with horizontal white-and-grey striped bands stands on a black circular platform, draped with a garland of orange and white flowers. Several men in saffron-orange robes stand on a white metal staircase and platform at the left, attending the lingam, one reaching toward its top. A small ornate gold umbrella-shaped canopy sits at the lower right. Red flags flank a plain stone wall in the background under an overcast sky.
