A photograph of a large black stone Shiva lingam rising from a tiered water basin, decorated with garlands of yellow and orange flowers at its base and shaft. Water sprays from the sides of the lingam in the bright sunlight. Crowds of people wearing white clothes stand and bathe in the water around the basin, while more people in white and colourful saris sit on red stone steps along the right and left edges. A multi-storey building stands at the upper right. The scene reflects a holy dip in the sacred waters at a temple tank.
