Night photograph of a large outdoor shivalinga set on a raised stone platform inside a water-filled amphitheatre-style courtyard. Water jets and sprays rise behind the linga, and the still water reflects coloured lights from the stands. Tiered seating on the right holds a large crowd, and a small group of white-robed and saffron-clad people stands at the platform's edge. Festival lights and strings of bulbs line the stands on the left.

December 26 20132013-12-26December 26 20132013-12-26Night photograph of a large illuminated outdoor Shivalinga on a raised black base at the left, with water jets spraying upward from its top. In front, a wide shallow pool of brown water reflects the lights. Behind the pool, tiered terraced seating is filled with many people dressed in white and orange, gathered along a stepped bank with stands and a red-and-white edged platform. Strings of colourful lights decorate the far left. The scene appears to be a large open-air ritual ground at night.2013-12-26December 26 20132013-12-26 +1 copiesDecember 26 20132013-12-26 +1 copiesDecember 26 20132013-12-26 +1 copiesNight photograph of a large outdoor water tank at a temple complex.

A green-lit fountain jets up behind the lingam, and its colour reflects in the still water. Behind it, illuminated stadium-style seating rises in a tiered wall of white and green lights, and some seated spectators are faintly visible on the left. A small red boat sits near the left edge. No individual person is clearly identifiable as a person, and the image is a photograph of a monumental shivalinga installation rather than a ritual scene with a visible figure.2009-12-01December 26 20132013-12-26 +1 copies
