A night-time photo of a large grey Shiva lingam with a yellow and red flower garland wrapped around its base and a white horizontal band marking its side. Atop a metal staircase platform beside the lingam, two figures sit close together; the foremost wears an orange-brown robe, a long beaded necklace and has long dark hair, while a second, partly hidden figure sits behind. Small brass lamps or vessels line the lower steps, and faint smoke rises near the railing. Bright string lights glow at the lower right.
