A large dark grey Shivalinga stands outdoors, its upper dome draped with a garland of orange and yellow marigolds and red flowers. A metal staircase with white railings climbs to a platform beside it. On the platform, a painted statue of a man with long dark hair and a dark crown or headdress sits in an orange-red garment with a garland around the neck, with another figure partly visible behind him. Below on the stairs, figures in orange robes stand near oil lamps on the steps. Overcast sky and a reddish wall lie behind. The figures appear to be statues or depictions rather than living people.
