Night photograph of a very large black stone Shivalinga on a circular yoni-style pedestal, standing in a shallow water-filled basin. Water streams down the lingam, which has horizontal white marks across its middle. Two priests in white dhotis stand on a metal staircase and railed platform beside it; one pours water from a vessel onto the top of the lingam. A third figure in saffron-orange robes stands at the base of the stairs with a white-clothed attendant. Tiered red-brown seating rises behind the basin under dark sky and a lit building.

No people are visible.

Illuminated windows of a multi-storey building glow behind, and a small plaque is set into the platform's front edge. No people are visible.
