A large black stone Shiva lingam rises from a yoni-shaped pedestal in a red-tiered sunken water tank, garlanded with orange, yellow and green flower chains. Water sprays from fountains around it. Dozens of people wearing white clothes wade and bathe in the water, some dipping or splashing near the lingam, with more people standing on the red steps and walkways in the background. A man in white stands on the far steps and a figure in dark clothes is visible at the left edge. Trees and a multi-storey building stand behind the tank under a bright sky.
