A large black stone Shivalinga rises from a square platform in a water tank with green water and reflections. A garland of yellow, red and white flowers drapes its top. Several people in orange and saffron robes stand on a metal staircase and upper platform beside the linga, and more figures in white and orange sit on red tiered stone steps at left and right. The scene suggests a Shiva abhishekam setting. Trees and flagpoles stand behind the tank.
