A large black stone Shiva lingam stands on a raised red-and-white base in a water-filled courtyard, its reflection clearly visible on the still surface. A garland of yellow, red and green flowers hangs on the lingam, and two young green saplings frame the foreground. Behind it, red-tiled tiered steps with rows of empty seats rise beside a red multi-storey building and a pale grey wall, under overcast sky. A few orange-robed people are faintly visible on the distant steps.

Behind it, a red multi-storey building with a white metal staircase rises, and rows of red stone seating with small dark shrines are visible in the background. Several people in orange robes are seated or moving along the tiers at the far right, a Rudrabhishekam-style abhishekam setting.2013-10-21 +1 copiesOctober 21 20132013-10-21Photo 11736241October 21 20132013-10-21 +1 copiesA large dark stone Shiva lingam with a yoni-shaped base stands on a square platform in the middle of a reflecting pool. A garland of multicoloured flowers arcs over the lingam, and a small plaque is set on its front face. Behind it, red-brick tiered steps rise with rows of potted plants and lamps, and a red multi-storey building with windows stands at the right. Green leaves frame the foreground and the water mirrors the lingam clearly. No people are visible in the main frame.2013-10-21 +1 copiesA large black stone Shivalinga stands on a raised platform in the middle of a still rectangular pool, with a rainbow-coloured garland arch behind it on a tiered red-brick stadium. Dark stone nandi-style sculpture in the foreground, pale steps and white railings lead to the water. Several people in orange and saffron robes are visible on the steps and seating at left, too small to identify. A tall red building stands in the background. Mist hangs over the scene.2013-10-21 +1 copiesOctober 21 20132013-10-21 +1 copiesA large black stone Shivalingam stands on a square red-and-cream base in the middle of a flooded amphitheatre-style pool, its reflection shimmering in the still water. A garland of multicoloured flowers is draped over the top of the lingam. Rows of empty red-tiered stone seating surround the water, and a red multi-storey building stands behind. Several saffron-robed monks stand on the stepped walkway and railings at the left and upper left, with a figure in white at the top. The scene reads as a sacred Shiva lingam abhishekam-style setting rather than a specific ritual. No readable a person candidate is clearly visible.2013-11-18November 18 20132013-11-18
