A large outdoor Shivalingam is decorated with dense bands of marigold and mixed flower garlands in orange, yellow, purple, white and green, forming a tall flower-wrapped base and a garland arch around the lingam. It stands on a platform surrounded by water. Behind it, a terraced amphitheatre holds seated people in white clothes, and a red multi-storey building rises at the back. Several men stand on the building's roof, one in a dark top, others in light clothing. Tiers of white-clad seated people are visible on the steps, so the total is in the 21-100 range.
