A photograph of a large black Shiva lingam set on a tiered black yoni-peetha base in a shallow tank, decorated with orange and yellow marigold garlands. Water streams from the lingam and spouts from the peetha's spout. Many people in white clothes stand and bathe in the water around the structure, while more devotees in white and colourful saris stand on red stepped seating and along the edges. Several people are visible on the steps and bank, and a dark stage with speakers is at the right edge. Trees and buildings lie in the background under a pale sky.
