A large black linga stands on a circular pedestal in a reflecting pool, with water streaming down its sides and a lotus-patterned base. Garlands and flower decorations hang from its base. White-robed devotees stand and climb a metal staircase beside it, some holding offerings. A man in orange robes stands at the top right near the linga's crown, and a line of people sits on red tiered steps to the left, some under a green umbrella. Parked cars and red-roofed buildings fill the background, and the scene is a linga abhishekam with water being poured over the linga.
