A large black stone Shivling stands in the middle of a rectangular water-filled tank, its base platform surrounded by still water with reflections. Water spills from the lingam's yoni base. A white-clad group in saffron and white stands on the stepped stairs at the upper left, near a small framed portrait placed on a stand. Rows of empty red stone seating rise behind the tank, and potted plants line the near edge. The scene is an outdoor abhishekam setting at dawn or dusk, with a flower garland of coloured strands wrapped around the lingam's top.
