A large dark grey stone Shivalinga with a round yoni-pitha base and spout stands on a raised light-grey platform in an open courtyard. Behind it rises a tiered wall of red-painted steps lined with rows of smaller grey stone linga-shaped pieces. A few workers are visible at the left edge near scaffolding, and wet patches cover the ground. Potted plants sit along the top of the steps, and a few small items lie near the base of the platform.
