Dusk outdoor ritual scene with rows of many dark black stone Shivalingams arranged on a paved ground, each with a reddish-brown base. Behind them a crowd of devotees stands in front of a string of lights and a tall banana plant; many wear white clothes with saffron-orange shawls or sashes, and some women wear saris in orange and pink. Two striped umbrellas and string lights frame the gathering under a blue evening sky with palm and tree silhouettes. A man in white stands at the left edge near a lit lamp, performing an offering among the lingams.
