A large dark black stone Shiva lingam stands on a black circular yoni-style pedestal, decorated with a multicoloured flower garland arch of red, yellow, purple, white and green blossoms. Three silver horizontal bands with a crystal disc mark the lingam's face. In the background on a raised platform stand three men in orange and saffron dhotis and shawls with garlands, one bare-chested with a white sacred thread, holding offerings or puja items, with a fourth figure in orange at right. Behind them are tiered terracotta pots of green plants and a red building with garlands strung along its balconies. The scene suggests an abhishekam or puja at a Shiva lingam.
