Night view of an open-air outdoor shrine at a temple complex. A large black Shivalinga stands on a square stone pedestal in the middle of a rectangular water tank, its reflection visible in the still water. Behind it, a glowing arched niche frames a small lit altar. Tiered brick steps line both sides of the pool, with a few rows of chairs. At the far left, a small group of people in orange and white robes sits on the steps near a wooden stand. Bright floodlights illuminate the scene against the dark sky, with a multistorey building in the background.
