Red flags line the railings above.

Beside him stand a bare-chested man in orange with a white dhoti, a man in a white shirt and white trousers, and two men in casual shirts and jeans on the right, all looking toward the lingas. Water fills the tank on the right.2017-03-26March 26 20172017-03-26March 26 20172017-03-26Photo of a campus tour at a stepped stone tank lined with rows of black Shivalingams on red-brick terraces, with red saffron flags on white railings.
