Outdoor photo of a large grey-brown Shiva lingam draped in layered garlands of marigold and red, white, yellow and green flowers, with a silver band around its base. Above, a man with long dark hair and a bare upper torso sits on a raised metal platform with railings, wearing an orange cloth, while a second person in orange robes is partly visible behind him. A multicoloured fringed parasol with tassels shades the scene against a pale blue sky, and trees and a tent appear in the background. The seated man may be a person, identified by long swept-back hair, bare-chested adornment and orange clothing, seated above the lingam as a ritual participant.
