A large black stone Shiva lingam with a garland of yellow and orange flowers stands in a shallow tank on the left, with water spraying from its top. Beside it, a decorated palanquin-like seat with garlands and flowers holds a seated figure in orange-red robes with a crown-like headdress, who appears to be receiving devotees. Crowds of people stand waist-deep in water, many in white clothes, some holding offerings, with others gathered on the red stepped ghats and embankment behind. A tree and a building are visible in the background under a pale sky.
