Outdoor photo of a large polished black Shivalinga, its upper curve draped with a garland of white and yellow flowers alternating with dark purple blooms. A person in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair stands atop the linga on the right, gazing toward the sky under a pale hazy sky, with leafy trees at the right edge and a few heads of onlookers visible at the bottom. The appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable), with the figure in saffron robes and long hair as the distinguishing cues.
