A large black stone Shivling stands on a square platform in the middle of a rectangular water pool, with water jets spraying up beside it. Tiered concrete seating rises on the pool's sides, and a crowd of people dressed in white is visible in the distance on the right, beside parked cars and a dusty open area with bamboo and palm trees. In the foreground are stacks of steel reinforcing rods and a corrugated metal fence. The scene appears to be an outdoor temple or event site under construction, and the Shivling is the central object.
