A large black dome-shaped stone lingam is draped with a long multicolour garland of red, white, purple, yellow and green flowers. Behind it, a man in an orange-saffron robe with a red tilak wears a red and green flower garland, a gold beaded necklace, and has long swept-back dark hair; he stands at the railing and appears to be performing abhishekam, with a silver vessel in the foreground. Two other men in orange cloth with white forehead markings assist nearby, and a red-roofed building and trees stand in the background. Probable Swamiji is present in the centre, identified by his long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and layered garland and gold necklace.
