A large black stone Shiva lingam with a yoni-shaped base stands on a square platform in the middle of a still rectangular pool. Strings of orange and yellow marigold garlands drape its upper shaft. Red-tiered stone steps and rows of empty red-backed seats rise behind it, and a single small figure sits near the bottom step. Potted plants with green foliage line the near edge of the pool, and the lingam's reflection shows in the water. Red-roofed buildings and trees appear in the background.
