Night photograph of a large black Shiva lingam on a tiered yellow-and-black garlanded base, standing on a wooden platform at the edge of dark water, with a metal staircase railing beside it. Across the water a brightly lit, ornately decorated shrine canopy with yellow, red and blue embellishments houses a seated figure in orange robes, flanked by garlands and draped fabric. Clay-pot-lined terraced banks and a brick wall form the background. Reflections of lights shimmer on the water surface. Appears to be a waterside ritual setting at night.
