A large black Shiva lingam stands on a platform in the middle of a water tank, with black-and-gold garlands wrapped around its base and a white horizontal band painted on the upper shaft, while water jets spray from it. Many people wearing white clothes wade and bathe in the water around the lingam, with more people in white standing on tiered red steps along the banks under a bright sunset sky. A decorated float with yellow and orange flower garlands sits at right, and a multi-storey building stands in the background.
