September 07 20142014-09-07September 02 20142014-09-02A large black stone Shiva lingam stands on a raised square platform in a water tank at a temple complex. The lingam has a rounded top and a wide circular yoni-pitha base with carved detailing. A metal staircase with railings leads up from the water to the platform. Behind it, tiered red brick steps are lined with potted green plants against a white wall with wooden doors. A small plaque is set on the platform's front face. No people are visible.2014-09-05A large black stone Shivling stands in the foreground on a square lotus-carved yoni pedestal, with a garland of red, white, green and yellow flowers draped down its front. Behind it, rows of people in white clothes sit on red-tiered steps under a decorated red and orange canopy with garlands. At the top of the steps near the back, a few figures in orange and white stand and sit beside a low orange-draped seat. Several people are seated in front on the steps, while a small group sits on the platform at left. The scene suggests a ritual or satsang gathering in an open-air ground.2013-07-01June 17 20132013-06-17October 21 20132013-10-21 +1 copiesA large dark black stone Shivling stands on a matching carved yoni-peetha base on an outdoor concrete platform at dusk.

No people are visible in the scene.2008-12-31A large black stone Shiva lingam stands on a square yoni pedestal set in a pool of water. Water streams down from the lingam and over its base, with fountain jets rising from the pool. Behind it, a red-brick terrace holds rows of small clay pots and a metal railing with steps on the right. No people are visible. The scene is an outdoor water-fountain shrine with a lingam and yoni.2011-08-08A large black stone Shiva lingam stands on a raised square platform with red and white striped base in a shallow green-tinged pool. A metal staircase with handrails leads up to the platform beside it, and terraced red brick steps with planted greenery rise behind. No people are visible; the lingam is a sacred stone form at an outdoor water setting.2014-09-07A large dark stone Shiva lingam stands in a water basin with a gutter spout, draped with a multicoloured garland of red, yellow, white and purple flowers. A man in an orange-red shawl and a red garland stands on a metal stair beside the lingam with hands folded in namaskar. Behind them, a red stepped ghat holds about two dozen people in orange, red and white robes; some sit, some stand, and a few play drums and horns at the upper right. Metal pots and vessels sit on the steps. The scene reads as a lingam abhishekam ceremony at a temple tank. The man's appearance is not clearly identifiable, so no identity claim is made.2013-06-03A large black stone Shivalinga stands on a square tiered platform in the middle of a still green-tinged pool, its reflection visible in the water. A garland of marigolds and ribbons drapes its upper shaft. Red-brick stepped seating surrounds the pool, with potted plants and red celosia flowers along the right edge. A few people in white and saffron clothing are scattered on the terraced steps and a metal staircase, and a red multi-storey building stands behind the seating under a pale sky.2013-10-21 +1 copiesDecember 09 20112011-12-09
