A large dark black stone lingam with a multicoloured floral garland draped over its top, set on a red-tiered stone platform. A woman in an orange sari with gold necklaces and a red bindi stands on a metal railing platform beside it, hands pressed together in anjali. A shaved-headed man in white stands behind her. Behind them are a red-roofed building, a white wall, a speaker and stacked rocks along a white railing. The scene suggests a lingam puja or abhishekam. The figure is a woman, so no a person candidate is present.
