A large black stone Shivling stands in a water-filled tank at an outdoor ashram, decorated with a multicoloured flower garland arch. A white-clad man in a white dhoti stands at the top beside it, with saffron-robed monks on stairs and tiered red seating behind. Red multistorey buildings rise in the background under an overcast sky. The scene suggests an abhishekam or puja at the Shivling.
