A night photograph of a large dark grey Shiva lingam structure on a tiered black base, with a white-and-gold banded ring near its middle and a metal staircase railing climbing its side. A small figure in white stands at the top near the crown of the lingam. Behind it, a building facade is strung with red, green and blue fairy lights, and rows of empty seating and railings stretch across the foreground. The scene is lit mainly by the lights and surrounding darkness.
