A large black dome-shaped Shiva lingam is draped with a garland of white and purple flowers. On a metal scaffold platform beside it, a shirtless man with long dreadlocks, rudraksha beads around his neck and white markings on his arms pours water from a golden kalasha over the lingam during abhishekam. A second man in white dhoti with glasses and beads stands behind him. Another person in orange clothing is visible on the stairs below, and the sky is pale overcast.
