Night view of a large outdoor amphitheatre-style pool with a tall black Shivalinga rising from the water at the centre, a fountain spraying behind it and white light glowing on the surface. Many seated people in rows fill the foreground and tiered stands, many wearing white or pink-white clothing and some wearing saffron-orange robes near the far water edge. Coloured string lights and bunting decorate the upper left, and a bright illuminated white wall lines the background.
