A large grey Shivalinga is adorned with a multicoloured garland of red, yellow, green and white flowers arching over its top, with white horizontal tripundra lines marked across its front. A man in an orange dhoti and orange shawl with rudraksha-style beads stands on a white railed platform at upper left, extending his arm and pouring liquid over the linga, with water running down its surface. Two other figures in orange clothing are partly visible at the left edge. The scene is an abhishekam on a tall linga against a plain white sky. a person cues are limited to the orange attire and beaded necklace, so identity remains uncertain.
