A large black stone Shiva lingam with a broad black yoni-pitha base stands before a red and white striped backdrop, decorated with garlands of white, yellow and orange flowers. Several people in saffron-orange robes perform ritual abhishekam at the base, one standing figure in a long orange garment holds a vessel and pours liquid over the lingam. Beside them, a decorated palanquin-like structure is adorned with yellow and white flower garlands and purple blooms. Devotees in white and light clothing stand along the edge in the foreground, with trees and an overcast sky behind.
