A large outdoor pool with red-tiered stone seating around it, centred on a dark black stone Shivalinga rising from a platform in the water, with water cascading from its top. Many people are bathing and swimming in the pool; some wear yellow, blue and pink inflatable rings, and a few stand waist-deep near the stairs. A railing-lined staircase leads down into the water on the left, and the pool is surrounded by greenery and buildings.
