A woman in a pink sari with a maroon blouse stands on a red and cream striped platform beside a large dark grey stone lingam with a broad circular base, its upper column garlanded with marigold and multicoloured flower strands. Beside the lingam, a small deity murti sits in a golden arched niche on a red cloth, decorated with a yellow flower garland. Steps lead up to the platform, which is surrounded by water, with metal railings, lamps and a tiered brick-red wall behind.
