A large black stone Shivalinga stands on a square platform in the middle of a reflecting water pool, with a yoni-shaped base and a gold-coloured cord wrapped around the lingam. Water jets rise in arcs from the lingam and from a spout on the base, falling back into the pool. Tiered concrete seating rises behind it, and a fence and dirt area with parked white vehicles lie beyond. Several people in white clothing walk along a distant path at the top right, and two people stand at the pool's near right edge, all small in the frame.
