A large black Shiva lingam stands in the middle of a water tank at sunset, draped with garlands of yellow and orange flowers and with water streaming down its sides from the stone base. Dozens of people in white clothes wade in the water around the lingam, some with arms raised. Crowds in white garments stand on red-tiered steps along the tank's edge, and a multi-storey concrete building with scaffolding rises at right. A woman in an orange and white garment wades in the foreground at right. The sun glows low behind the crowd, and a faint logo appears at upper left.
