A large black Shiva linga stands in the middle of a rectangular water tank surrounded by tiered red seating steps. A metal staircase railing leads down into the water, and several people in white clothes climb or stand along it, with one figure in orange-red robes near the top of the linga platform. On the stone steps in the foreground, women in white saris with yellow borders sit and kneel beside brass plates and trays of yellow flowers and round offerings. Grey clouds fill the sky, with trees and a partly built multi-storey structure at the left edge.

Several people in white ritual clothes climb toward the linga, some holding offerings, while others stand along the pool's stone edge and steps holding brass plates and vessels, with a row of brass lamps and fruit set on the ground. A few women in white saris and orange or saffron garments sit near the edge, and a figure in orange appears near the top of the stairs by the linga. Tiered red stadium-style seating surrounds the pool under a cloudy sky, with trees and palms beyond. The scene reads as a linga abhishekam performed in the water.2010-10-22 +1 copiesA 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.2010-10-22 +1 copiesA large black Shiva linga stands on a raised platform in the middle of a reflecting water pool, with gold-trimmed ceremonial cloth draped around its base. Red tiered stone steps rise on both sides of the pool, and a white railing runs along the staircases. On the left steps, a group of about a dozen people in white clothes sit and gather around brass vessels and offerings, while a few others stand on the steps and along the upper rail. Behind the pool is an unfinished multi-storey concrete building with scaffolding, under a cloudy sky with some trees at the edges. The scene suggests a linga abhishekam setting at an outdoor shrine.2010-10-22 +1 copiesOctober 22 20142014-10-22 +1 copiesOctober 22 20142014-10-22 +1 copiesJune 03 20132013-06-03A large black stone Shivalinga rises from a shallow water-filled amphitheatre pool, its base decorated with white, red and gold garlands.
