A silver band encircles the middle, and a flower-covered crown-like top with a decorative finial rises above. Strings of flowers hang in layered bands around its base, and a silver-railed metal staircase and a figure in orange clothing are partly visible at the left edge. Dark sky behind.

A tall grey stone lingam is decorated with dense garlands of marigolds in orange and yellow, pink and purple flowers, and white jasmine strands draped over its top and sides, with a yellow-and-purple garland curtain hanging over a yoni base in the foreground. A metal staircase and railed platform rises at right, where a person in an orange garment stands near the top beside the lingam, partly hidden by the flowers. The sky behind is pale blue. This appears to be a lingam abhishekam-style adornment, with a visible figure on the platform.2016-12-16February 26 20172017-02-26December 06 20162016-12-06 +1 copiesDecember 13 20162016-12-13 +1 copiesA tall grey lingam, a Shiva linga, is draped in dense garlands of marigolds in orange and yellow, white flowers, purple and pink blooms, and green leaves, arranged in long strands down its surface and in a crown-like top.
