A photograph of a large outdoor Shiva lingam set on a square platform in the middle of a reflecting pool, draped in colourful garlands of yellow, orange, purple and white flowers. A black stone Nandi bull in the foreground, wearing a flower garland and a white tilak mark, faces the lingam across the water. Dozens of devotees in white clothing sit in tiered rows on the surrounding stepped stands and along the pool edge, many watching the lingam. A red multi-storey building and trees stand behind the stands under a hazy sky.
