In Varanasi, India, a large mural depicting Lord Shiva dominates a wall, with his back to the viewer and his face obscured by his flowing hair. He is painted in shades of blue and orange, with a tiger skin loincloth. He holds a trident in his right hand. To the left of the mural, a woman in a red sari stands and looks towards the mural. To the right, a man in a white shirt and dark jeans stands facing the mural. The mural is located in an outdoor urban setting, likely along the Ganges River, given the context of Varanasi. The ground is paved with stones, and a building with intricate wooden balconies rises in the background. The sky is clear and blue. The mural also features smaller depictions of temples and wavy water, suggesting a riverine landscape.
