A large black stone Shivalinga, partly covered in dark abhishekam residue, is being bathed from above on a metal scaffold platform against a pale sky. A garland of white and red flowers wraps around its upper curve, and a silver band with a silver disc decorates its base. A bare-chested priest with long hair, rudraksha mala and sacred markings stands at the top pouring liquid from a golden vessel onto the lingam. Beside him another priest in white dhoti bends forward, while a third figure in orange cloth and brass pots appears at the left edge of the platform.
