A large black stone Shivalingam rises from the centre of a rectangular stepped tank of still water, its reflection doubled in the surface. A stone bull head (nandi-like sculpture) sits at the lower left corner of the pool. Tiered stone steps with red-brick seating line both sides of the water. Behind, a red building with a golden dome and a bright yellow top stands among trees, with flagpoles and a wall beyond. Two or three people in orange clothes stand near the lingam and on the steps, appearing small in the distance.
