Along the near steps, a row of around twenty people in white clothes and white headcloths sit facing the water, and several others stand or bathe in the water around the lingam. A man in white sits on the right steps, and several women in colourful saris stand along the far edge. Garlands and red flowers are placed on the steps. The lingam is shown in front of a water tank.
