Outdoor ceremony on a raised steel-railed platform beside a large golden lingam draped in garlands of marigolds and multicoloured flowers in red, green, yellow and white. A tall gold-finialed umbrella with a fringed canopy striped in blue, red, green, yellow and white shades the platform. Three people sit on it: a figure in orange robes with long swept-back hair at left, a person in orange with a rudraksha-style necklace in the centre, and a bare-chested man in a rust-red cloth with a long beaded necklace at right, possibly the central figure. Beige stone wall and green trees behind; a metal staircase leads up to the platform, where a white-clad attendant stands below.
