A large dark green stone lingam, decorated with a band of red and white flowers and yellow marigold garlands, stands in the foreground on a plinth with a white tablet inscribed with text. Above it, on a metal-railed steel stair platform, a standing figure in orange robes pours liquid from a vessel onto the lingam, as in abhishekam. A second person in orange robes stands behind on the stairs. Tall grey industrial structures rise in the background under an overcast sky.
