Outdoor photo of a large grey stone Shivalinga decorated with multicolored flower garlands in yellow, orange, white, purple and green, with a white marble-like tripundra-style horizontal band marked with a red vertical mark on its face. A man in saffron-orange clothing stands on top of the linga near a tall white scaffold ladder, apparently performing abhishekam. Below, a tiered stone seating area holds many seated people in white clothes, some with heads bowed. Behind is a red brick building under construction, water tanks and red flags. Stone deity murtis line the left side.
