Outdoor ritual at a large black stone Shivalinga on a raised platform, decorated with a flower garland and a cloth band. A seated man in saffron-red and reddish-brown robes, wearing a red turban, rudraksha-style beads and a white flower garland, sits on a gold-framed seat with a golden cobra hood behind him, beside a trident. Around him, several women and girls in orange and saffron garments and white saris perform puja, one holding a ritual item. Striped cloth covers the platform edge, and red-brick buildings, scaffolding and a tiered seating area with many small lingams fill the background. Two people stand on top of the lingam.
