A large black stone Shivling stands in the middle of a water tank, with jets of water spraying around it. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts climb and work on the lingam, which is draped with garlands of marigolds and coloured flowers, and one man in an orange garment stands on the lingam's platform. A man in white wades in the water beside the base and another stands on a small boat at the left edge. Behind the tank, a crowd of people in white clothes sits on a terraced embankment painted in red and white stripes, under trees and strings of orange flags, during a ritual bath of the Shivling.

Water sprays up on the left. Behind, a crowd of white-clad people sits on striped red and white steps along the pool edge, with orange bunting strung across trees and a stone-lined embankment on the right.2009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02January 02 20092009-01-02
