A photograph of a large grey stone Shivalinga on a circular black base, set in an outdoor campus with red brick walls and red flags. A metal staircase with railings leads to a raised platform beside the linga where several people stand. A man in white clothes stands at the rail, while a bearded man with long dark hair in a maroon-red robe gestures and a younger man in an orange-saffron robe stands beside him. Water sprays from the wall on the right, and a small figure in a dark outfit stands on the lower steps. Two people are partly visible near the bottom left. The linga's surface shows metal horizontal bands bearing a small emblem.
