A garland of red, white and green flowers hangs down the lingam. On the tiered red stone steps and metal staircase beside it, several men in saffron-orange dhotis and rudraksha malas stand in a ritual abhishekam, one holding a vessel and another pouring. Behind them are an orange building and green roofs.
