Outdoor photo of a large grey stone shivalinga draped with a thick garland of marigolds and multicoloured flowers in red, yellow, white and pink. Behind it, a seated man in an orange-red cloth and a white shawl sits beneath a striped ceremonial canopy with a fringed white top, while a standing man in saffron clothing stands beside a tall metal stand. A red multi-storey building, water tanks and a red brick stepped platform with small lingams form the backdrop. Probable Swamiji (long hair and a saffron/orange robe with distinctive ceremonial cues) appears among the attendants, seated beneath the canopy, as a presiding figure at the abhishekam-style ceremony. The canopy and garland suggest a ceremonial puja setting, with an assistant nearby.
