A large black stone Shiva lingam stands on a tiered black yoni-pitha base, wrapped with a garland of red, yellow and green flowers. Above it, on a raised platform, several men in saffron and orange clothing perform a ritual, one holding a long white cloth and another standing nearby. Behind the lingam, rows of small stone Shiva lingams line terraced red steps, with a red multi-storey building and red flags in the background. Several people in orange garments stand at the lower edges of the base and near the steps.
