Outdoor stage event under a white canopy with a yellow backdrop painted with green mountains, blue clouds and red flame-like motifs. A central white-robed figure with a crown-like headpiece and a garland stands before a large black Shiva lingam set on a raised platform, with green leafy trees placed beside it. Several people in white and saffron-orange shawls stand on the stage around the central figure, some holding brass cymbals or ritual items, and a dense crowd of people dressed largely in white fills the foreground. The central figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the person is described by role only.
