A large black stone Shivalingam with a rainbow-coloured floral garland stands in the middle of a reflecting pool on a square plinth, its mirror image visible in the still water. Several people in saffron and orange robes stand on a staircase at the top of the tiered red-brick seating beside the pool, and a few figures in white clothes sit on steps at the left edge. Tiered terraces of red-brown seating and planted greenery surround the pool, with a multi-storey red building and bare trees behind under a hazy sky.
