A standing man in an orange-saffron dhoti and orange shawl wears a long garland of white and red flowers and a red-and-white floral necklace over his bare chest, with a red tilak on his forehead. He stands on a paved courtyard beside a large orange-draped Shivalinga, which bears a silver face-mark and a gold-bordered orange cloth draped over its pedestal. Behind them lie rows of black Shivalingas on a plain, and a line of shipping containers in blue, red and white sits beside a rocky hill with sparse trees. A parked silver car is at left. The scene appears to be an outdoor ashram site with many lingams. The man has long dark hair and is barefoot, with orange-clad distinctive clothing and garlands as cues.
