A large outdoor ritual scene at a red multi-storey building under construction with exposed steel framing. In the foreground a massive dark granite Shivalinga rises from a black circular yoni-peetha basin, garlanded and surrounded by brass pots and offering plates. Robed priests in saffron and orange stand at the base, one pouring liquid from a vessel over the linga as abhishekam. Beyond, rows of red seating hold many devotees, most in orange and white clothing, with small brass lamps and kalashas set out. Two figures stand on a raised platform near the top of the linga, and red flags line the grounds.
