A large black stone linga stands in a water basin at night, decorated with garlands of yellow, orange, pink and white flowers and green leaves draped across its base and around its upper shaft. A silver band encircles the middle of the linga. Water streams down from above and ripples across the reflective pool, with floating flower petals on the surface. Red and white striped edging surrounds the basin, and small string lights glow in the background.
