A large black stone Shivling rises from a flooded reflecting pool with a red-brick tiered stepped amphitheatre behind it. A garland of marigolds or flowers drapes the lingam's upper part. Several people in white clothes are seated on the red steps and a few stand near a metal staircase leading up to the shrine. A white vehicle is parked behind the seating area and a clear overcast sky sits above the trees.
