A large dark black stone Shivalingam stands on a black circular yoni-pitha base with a water channel pouring off one side during abhishekam. A multicoloured garland of yellow, red, white, green and purple flowers hangs down the lingam, and yellow petals are scattered on the base. Behind it, rows of people in white clothes sit on red tiered steps in meditation or prayer, some with hands joined. At the top, two men stand behind the lingam; the one in the centre wears a red-and-gold garland and presses his palms together in namaste. Red draped fabric and flower strings decorate the stage above.

A multicoloured flower garland drapes around the linga. A metal railing staircase leads up to a platform where two robed men in saffron-orange garments stand near the top beside the linga. Around thirty people in white clothes sit on the red steps in rows, and a few more stand at the lower left. Festive orange, red and yellow bunting decorates the enclosure fence, and a single figure in orange stands off to the right on the steps.2013-07-08
