A large dark black stone Shiva lingam stands on a black yoni-shaped pedestal (peetha) outdoors, decorated with a garland arch of red, yellow, white, purple and green flowers. Three horizontal silver tripundra bands with a central silver disc adorn the lingam's face. Scattered petals and white flowers lie on the pedestal. Behind it is a tiered wall of terracotta pots with green plants, a red building, and a metal staircase railing draped in red and white garlands. A figure in orange clothing sits in the background at the top right. No physical person is prominent in the foreground.
