Rows of black stone Shiva lingams with yoni bases are arranged on tiered red brick steps in bright sunlight. Brass pots and small brass vessels sit beside some lingams. Behind them a metal railing is hung with red and yellow cloth draping. No people are visible, and the many lingams suggest a large ritual arrangement or abhishekam setup.
