A large grey stone Shiva lingam is heavily decorated with garlands of orange, yellow, white and purple flowers wound around its crown and base, with strands of marigolds hanging down its front. Two men in orange cloths and bare-chested stand on a metal staircase at the left, one tending the lingam from above. Seated devotees fill the tiers at the right under a canopy with coloured cloth banners, and a brass lamp is visible at the lower right. The scene suggests a Rudra abhishekam setting.
