Dusk view of a large reflecting pool with a black stone Shivalinga on a raised square platform at its centre, lit by warm lights. A long line of devotees stands along the pool's edge on a planted terrace of potted plants; women in saffron-orange and white saris and men in white dhotis face the Shivalinga with hands joined. Tiered stone seating with rows of white-clad people and strings of coloured fairy lights frame the water, and a multi-storey building with lit spotlights stands at right. A seated figure in white is at the left edge near the water.
