Night photograph of a illuminated water-fountain structure set in a dark pool at a temple-style complex. A tall black shivalingam-shaped monument with a golden arched niche and gold rope-like garland bands rises from the water, with fountain jets spraying upward and lit in green-blue light. On the left bank, a group of people in white clothing stand near the water's edge, with lamps glowing and a row of small lights along the edge of the pool. Reflections of warm lights shimmer on the dark water.
