Photograph of a large outdoor Shiva lingam set on a raised platform in the middle of a rectangular reflecting pool, its base and shaft heavily draped in multicoloured flower garlands in yellow, orange, red and purple, with a flower-framed oval backdrop behind the shaft. In the foreground a dark stone Nandi bull with a flower garland around its neck and head sits at the water's edge, facing the lingam. Dozens of people in white clothing sit on the steps and on tiered red-brick seating at the pool's edge, some holding phones up. A red multi-storey building and trees stand behind the seating. Roughly 50 to 60 people are visible.
