Night photograph of a large grey stone Shiva lingam with its yoni-pitha base standing in a reflective pool. A white-railed staircase with landings rises on the left, and several people in white clothes and a few in orange robes stand on the steps and upper platform. A distant building with lit windows and a street light appear in the background, and the water mirrors the lingam and railings.
