A large black stone Shivalingam rises from a circular base on a water-filled pond at sunset. A metal staircase and railing lead up to the lingam platform, and tiered red-brown seating rises in the background beside a white boundary wall. Palm trees and a small tree stand against a pale pink-orange sky, and a small statue sits on a raised ledge at right. No people are visible.2014-04-22November 07 20112011-11-07April 22 20152015-04-22A large black stone Shivalinga stands on a square black base in a shallow reflecting pool at dusk, its rounded top wrapped in a striped garland of red, yellow, green and black. Behind it, a tiered brick amphitheatre with steel railings and a metal staircase rises toward a pale sun low in a hazy sky, with trees at the left. Two or three small figures in white clothing are faintly visible on the stairs at the right, too distant to describe in detail.2013-11-11November 11 20132013-11-11A sunset view over an outdoor stepped amphitheatre-like structure with rows of grey stone seating. A central water-filled rectangular pool contains a tall metal staircase tower and platform rising from the water, with a dark rounded structure at its top. Rows of small black lingam-shaped forms with round bases line the front edges in the foreground. A white single-storey building with dark doorways stands behind, palm trees and shrubs beyond, and an orange-pink sunset glows through wispy clouds. No people are visible.2014-04-22April 22 20142014-04-22Dusk view of a large black Shivalingam on a square platform standing in still water, its reflection mirrored below. A silver yoni-style band or plaque is fixed at its middle and it is wrapped with a garland of flowers. Behind it, tiered red-brown stadium-style seating and a multi-storey red brick building with a tower. White metal railings and staircases lead up the tiers. On the left, a few small figures in orange and white robes stand by the steps, appearing to be people in ritual dress; they are too small and distant to count precisely. A small white gazebo-like structure is at the far left edge.2013-10-28November 11 20132013-11-11June 07 20132013-06-07Wide view of an open-air stepped amphitheatre-style temple tank with a large black Shiva lingam on a raised red-and-white platform in the centre of the water, reached by a metal staircase. Two priests in orange-saffron robes stand at the base of the lingam performing worship. Rows of stone steps on both sides hold a small number of seated and standing devotees, and red flags line the walkways under a pale evening sky with palm trees behind the boundary wall.2016-10-17September 01 20142014-09-01
