Outdoor wide view of a large black Shivalingam on a stepped black pedestal, draped with a red, white and yellow garland at its upper edge. Tiered red-brick seating rises on both sides, filled with people in white clothing sitting in rows. A few figures in saffron or orange robes stand on a raised platform beside the lingam and along the stairs, with a metal railing and tall trees under a pale overcast sky. Strings of red and orange bunting run across the far stands.
