A large black Shivling stands on a square platform in the middle of a shallow pool, with water streaming down its surface and a white rectangular label on its face. Its base is wrapped with a garland of flowers in pink, yellow and white. Around the pool are tiered rows of red steps with rows of black seats. On the left, several people in white clothes gather at the steps near the water, some in orange or red garments. Behind is an unfinished multi-storey concrete building with rebar sticking up from its roof, and trees and hills are visible on the right under a cloudy sky.
