A photograph of a large Shiva lingam on a raised platform in the middle of a reflecting pool at an outdoor temple complex. The lingam is draped with a band of multicoloured flower garlands, and a line of orange-robed figures stands along the terraced tiers and stairs at the rear. In the foreground, a black stone Nandi bull with a red and white flower garland faces the lingam, and a crowd of seated devotees, many with their backs to the camera, watches from the steps. Several people wear white, red and orange clothing, and a man in a white garment sits at the right edge. The tiered brick structure and tall building stand behind the scene.
