Dusk scene at a temple with a large black Shivalinga on a tiered black pedestal, draped with a garland of marigolds and a band of purple, yellow and white flower decoration, while water streams down over it from above. Beside it, a figure seated on a decorated red and gold platform or palanquin with a flower-garlanded frame is shaded by an orange umbrella; the seated figure wears an orange-saffron robe and sits near several white-clad people at the base of the platform. Behind, a wall of many terracotta pots with green plants rises under a dark blue evening sky with trees and a light pole.
