Rows of black stone Shiva lingams stand on a paved courtyard, each draped with a white cloth bordered in orange and topped with yellow marigold garlands. A large lingam in the right foreground wears white and red flower garlands. Several people in white and colourful clothes bend over the lingams, some tending or adorning them, while purple and white decorative banners and a red-roofed building appear in the background.
