A photograph taken against an overcast sky shows a standing figure in a rust-red robe on a raised metal platform with silver handrails, gesturing with one hand. The figure has long matted hair and a bare upper arm with a dark armlet. Beside him on the stairs, a second person in white dhoti-style clothing with a light shawl stands near the rail. A large dark black stone, possibly a Shiva lingam, is decorated with a garland of orange, yellow, white and red flowers in the foreground. Several other figures are visible at the bottom edge. The sky dominates the upper frame.
