Outdoor photograph of a large Shiva lingam set atop a tall, ornate pedestal heavily decorated with garlands of orange, yellow, white and purple flowers, with a vertical garland arch framing the lingam. Several saffron-robed sannyasis stand or sit on the top of the structure near the lingam. Tiered red stone steps in the foreground hold seated devotees in white clothing, and a red multi-storey building with a water tank sits behind the scene. The setting suggests a temple tank or ghat ceremony with flower-decorated lingam worship, consistent with a puja or abhishekam procession.
