A large black stone Shiva lingam with a tall cylindrical top and wide round base stands in a tiered outdoor water basin, with water flowing down its surface and a garland draped around it. Two priests in saffron and orange dhotis, one bare-chested, pour liquids and tend brass pots and offerings on the platform around the lingam. Behind, rows of seated devotees in orange and red clothing fill red stepped seating beneath a pink multi-storey building with red flags and scaffolding. A stone figure of a deity stands near the steps on the right. No identifiable a person appears clearly; the priests are shown at a distance.

A large outdoor ritual scene at a red multi-storey building under construction with exposed steel framing. In the foreground a massive dark granite Shivalinga rises from a black circular yoni-peetha basin, garlanded and surrounded by brass pots and offering plates. Robed priests in saffron and orange stand at the base, one pouring liquid from a vessel over the linga as abhishekam. Beyond, rows of red seating hold many devotees, most in orange and white clothing, with small brass lamps and kalashas set out. Two figures stand on a raised platform near the top of the linga, and red flags line the grounds.2016-11-22November 22 20162016-11-22A large black stone Shivalinga stands on a wide black stone base in an open outdoor courtyard, its top garlanded with a band of marigold flowers and a white tripundra marking on its side.
