Night photograph of a large black Shivalingam set in a reflecting pool, with water jets spraying from behind and around it. The lingam is decorated with three white and gold trident-like faces and a white horizontal band. Strings of multicoloured lights are strung along the top of the scene, and dim figures in white sit on the tiered stone steps at the left and right edges. A metal staircase leads up to the lingam's base, whose platform is striped red and white. Reflections of the lights shimmer on the dark water.
