Outdoor photo of a large rectangular tank of still green water with stepped stone sides lined by many black stone shivalingams on pedestals, rows descending toward the water. A large black stone lingam or yoni-shaped altar stands at the centre of the tank on a raised platform. Red-brick tiered seating and a red multi-storey building with rooftop structures rise behind, under a grey sky with a large tree at left. Several people in white dhotis and light clothing sit among the shivalingams in rows near the edge, some in orange and red garments, performing worship.
