A large outdoor Shivalinga, a cylindrical stone form, stands on a tall base wrapped in a dense band of marigold and mixed-colour flower garlands in yellow, orange, red and white, with floral swags arching over the top. A bright decorated tiered arena with red-brick buildings behind it forms the setting. Spectators sit in rows on the stands at the sides, and a few people stand near the top of the structure, which appears to be a large floral-decorated Shivalinga for a festival procession or ritual display. No a person candidate is visible.
