Outdoor photo at dusk of a large field of black stone shivalingams, many topped with red flowers, arranged in rows before a forested hill. In the foreground, a large central lingam is dressed with a saffron-orange cloth and a head ornament, garlanded with yellow and red flowers, with a white draped cloth beneath and a pearl necklace. A white-clad worker bends among the lingams on the left, and a few figures stand near a red-roofed pavilion, with street lamps lit around the grounds.
