A large black stone lingam on a dark circular yoni-pitha stands at the centre of a tiered red-brick structure, reflected in still water that fills the foreground. Several small figures in white clothing stand on the left-side steps and walkway near the base, and a few more stand along the upper stair railings. Red-brick terraces with white railings frame the water on both sides, and a concrete wall rises at right under a pale sky. A person with a camera stands at the top right corner. The scene is a temple setting centred on the lingam, consistent with Shiva worship.2013-06-07June 07 20132013-06-07December 25 20112011-12-25June 07 20132013-06-07 +1 copiesA large black stone Shiva lingam with a yoni-shaped base stands on a square platform in the middle of a still rectangular pool.
