A dark stone Nandi bull statue in the foreground, garlanded with red flowers and green leaves, faces a rectangular pool of still greenish water. Across the pool, a shivalinga on a raised platform is decorated with a band of marigold garlands in yellow, red and green. Stone steps and tiered red seating rise on both sides, and a red multi-storey building stands behind. On the left, several people in orange and white clothing stand near the steps. The scene appears to be an outdoor temple-type ritual space.

A photograph of an outdoor temple pool at a large amphitheatre-style complex. In the foreground a dark stone Nandi bull statue, garlanded with purple and white flowers, sits at the pool edge. In the centre a black Shivalinga stands on a raised platform in the water, decorated with a bright multicolour flower garland and yellow-orange festoons, with a bank of red-brick tiered seating behind it. Ornamental banana-leaf and palm decorations frame the scene, and a red multi-storey building stands in the background. Along the left, a crowd of people in white clothes sits on the stepped seating, and a small figure in orange is visible at the lower right edge.

In the centre a large black Shiva linga stands on a raised platform in the water, wrapped in bands of yellow, orange and purple marigold garlands with green leaves.

A photograph of a large empty rectangular stone pool lined with tiered red seating, viewed from the front where a dark stone Nandi bull statue faces the camera in the foreground. In the distance at the far end, a raised platform draped in red and white striped cloth holds a seated figure, with a central shivalinga-style structure and a fountain-like pillar beside it. On the left, several women in orange saris sit on steps beside a striped cloth-covered table with offerings. A cameraman in an orange garment films from the right side of the steps. A red multistorey building and trees stand behind.

A large black stone Shiva lingam rises from a circular yoni-shaped base in a reflecting pool at an outdoor temple. A garland of flowers circles the top of the lingam, and a white plaque with a round emblem is set on its face. Several figures in orange and white are gathered on a platform above, and rows of people in orange and white clothing sit on stepped seating in the background. Devotees in orange and wet white garments stand around the base, with brass pots, a potted plant and a red-cloth offering on the platform. A red multi-storey building stands behind the scene.
