Devotees bathe in a large pool at sunset, wading and standing in water in white clothes. A tall black Shivling stands on a raised platform in the water, with water streaming from its sides and ornamental yellow garlands draped around its base. Terraced steps on both sides are crowded with onlookers in white, and a decorated golden palanquin with floral garlands sits at the water's edge on the right. A person in orange robes stands in the water at the lower right. Buildings and trees stand in the background against a bright sky.
