A large black linga stands on a circular yoni-shaped pedestal wrapped with garlands of white, yellow and maroon flowers, while water sprays up and cascades around it in a tall fountain against a dark blue night sky. Lamps glow faintly on a distant terrace and a few small figures are barely visible at the far right edge. The central subject is an outdoor abhishekam-style presentation of the Shiva linga under falling water.
