Outdoor photograph of a large grey Shivalingam set on a square raised platform in a water pool, decorated with a multicoloured garland skirt of yellow, orange, red, green, white and purple flowers and a long garland draped over its top. Several saffron-robed priests stand on metal railed stairs and platform around the lingam, some pouring liquid or offerings from vessels. Terraced brick seating with rows of small stone elements rises behind, with trees and a hill in the background. Some of the priests appear to be tonsured and are in orange or saffron cloth. No distinct cues identify a particular individual, so no identification is made.
