Garlands of flowers are draped over the lingam, and a metal staircase with railings leads up its side. Red-tiered stadium seating surrounds the pool, and a framed portrait is set on a stand near the seats. Several people in white clothes are scattered across the steps and seating, including a few walking on the stairs at the right. Green foliage and red flowers frame the foreground, and a yellow dump truck is parked behind the stands under a pale sky.2013-11-18November 18 20132013-11-18A large black stone Shivalingam rises from a yoni-pitha base in a shallow water tank, with water spouting from the pitha's spout and fountain jets around it. A flower garland of red, yellow and white blossoms wraps the lingam. Several priests stand on a metal staircase and a raised platform beside it; the lead priest in a white dhoti pours or offers at the lingam, while others wear saffron and orange robes and rudraksha malas. Behind them are red tiered stone steps and a few seated observers under trees and tall flagpoles.2013-11-18February 22 20162016-02-22July 24 20172017-07-24A large black stone Shivling stands on a raised platform inside a tiered compound lined with rows of small dark lingams on red brick steps. A flower garland in red and yellow hangs around the lingam's upper shaft. On the metal scaffolding stairs at the upper left, several people in saffron-orange robes stand and sit, and a figure in orange at the top right appears to be seated on the scaffold. Below, two people in orange robes stand near a golden arched frame beside brass vessels. An empty gold and red-cushioned throne sits at the right base of the lingam. The scene suggests an abhishekam ceremony at the lingam.2017-09-11Outdoor photo of a large black Shiva lingam standing in a shallow pool on a red-bordered square platform, with water flowing down its surface and a spout at its base, garlanded with a multicoloured floral garland. Red tiered stone steps and seating rise behind it, with a metal railing staircase on the right where several people in white and orange-red clothing stand near the top. Other people in white clothing sit on the left steps among potted plants, and a yellow dump truck is parked in the background beside trees under an overcast sky.2013-11-18September 11 20172017-09-11September 12 20102010-09-12
