Outdoor photograph of a large grey stone Shivalingam on a dark black stone yoni-peetha base, decorated with a green-and-white garland, with several men in saffron-orange robes working on top of it from scaffolding. A seated figure in red robes and a rudraksha mala sits on a gold-framed red throne in front of the lingam, with a golden trident (trishul) beside the throne. Attendants in orange clothing stand at the sides, and a tiered red stadium-style seating area with rows of chairs and red flags stands behind. A striped multicolour cloth covers the platform, with brass pots and a small potted plant nearby. A red multi-storey building with a partially built metal roof frames the background. The seated figure's face is too small and indistinct to confirm appearance, so identity is unsure.
