Devotees bathe in a shallow pool around a large black Shiva lingam set on a yoni-shaped pedestal, the lingam garlanded with orange and yellow marigold strands and streams of water falling from the pedestal. Many people, mostly dressed in white clothing, wade in the water holding up small offering cups or lamps, while others stand on red tiered steps and a raised platform in the background. Some are in saffron and orange garments. A tree and a concrete building with windows stand behind the sacred pool under a bright sky.
