A photograph of a large black Shiva lingam set in the middle of a tank, with water jets spraying from its sides at sunset. Devotees wearing white clothes stand waist-deep in the water around the lingam, many with hands raised, while others in white and yellow line the red-tiered steps of the surrounding ghats. A yellow and gold garland-style band wraps the lingam base. A concrete multi-storey building and trees stand in the background under a bright sky.
