A large dark grey Shiva lingam is draped with bands of marigold and mixed flower garlands in yellow, orange, white, red and purple, with a decorated flower border at its base. Atop a metal staircase platform beside it, several saffron-robed monks with shaved heads stand in a line, while one seated figure in orange clothing pours or offers something from a small vessel onto the lingam. Their attire is orange and saffron throughout. A pale blue sky and a leafy tree sit behind the stone wall at right. The scene is an outdoor abhishekam-style puja at a lingam.
