A photograph of a large outdoor seated gathering on tiered red steps beside a water tank, with dozens of participants sitting on rows of dark stone lingam-shaped Shivalingam ritual pieces. Many people wear white, saffron, pink, teal and blue clothing, several men are bare-chested, and some women wear shawls and saris. Red flags stand in front of a metal railing in the foreground. No single person can be clearly identified as a person from appearance, so the scene is described by participants only.
