A large black stone Shiva lingam with a grey upper section and a yoni-shaped base stands on a floating black platform in a pool of water. The lingam is garlanded with a flower garland and a strand of marigolds and red tassels wraps the base. Water spouts from the yoni spout and streams down around the lingam. Tiered red and white steps rise behind, where several people sit and stand watching, a few in white clothes and one holding a pink umbrella. A decorated canopy with red and orange flags stands at the left edge. The scene looks like an outdoor consecration at a water tank with a rocky hillside behind.
