A large black Shiva lingam stands on a raised circular yoni-pitha platform in a shallow turquoise pool, with water streaming down its sides. A metal staircase with white railings rises to a walkway beside it. Behind the pool, tiered terraced seating of red-brown stone rises toward a white boundary wall decorated with small symbols. A group of people in white and orange clothing sits near the pool's far edge on the steps, and a few white-clad figures stand along the water's edge. Palm trees and foliage frame the background under an overcast sky.
