A dimly lit night scene of a large black stone Shiva lingam on a square yoni base, set before a dark arched backdrop edged with yellow and black bands. A small bright light glows on the lingam's central band. Rows of empty stadium-style seating and metal railings fill the background, and a bright floodlight shines above. No people are visible, and the lingam appears to be the centre of a rudrabhishekam setting.
