Photograph of a large black Shiva lingam draped in a thick band of multicolored marigold and jasmine garlands in orange, yellow, white, purple and green, with silver bands on its face. It stands on a garland-decorated platform. Beside it, a metal staircase leads to an elevated platform where a figure in orange-red robes with a crown-like headdress and red-and-gold beaded necklaces stands with hands joined in namaskar, flanked by two shaven-headed men in saffron robes. Potted plants line a tiered wall behind, and a white building with wooden windows stands at right under a pale evening sky.
