Dusk view of a large black Shivalinga on a raised stone platform beside a water tank, its base wrapped in yellow and white flower garlands with strands of red beads hanging down. Water jets spray upward beside it. Behind, rows of red stepped ghats descend to the water, lit by lines of orange lights and outlined neon-style shiva lingam and diya lamp motifs. A few people sit or bathe near the water's edge at the bottom right. Trees and a building stand against the evening sky.
