A large black Shiva linga stands in a red-tiled, stepped sunken tank of reddish water under a heavy grey sky. A linga-shaped monument rises from a platform in the water, with a garland of flowers draped on its base and a small sign on its side. A metal staircase leads down into the tank on the left, where several people in white clothes stand on the steps and one person in white stands waist-deep in the water beside the linga, apparently performing an abhishekam. Water streams from the linga. A partly built concrete structure and trees sit beyond the tank.
