A wide outdoor view of a large stepped tank at a temple complex, with red-tiled terraced steps on both sides. A tall black Shiva linga with a yellow-trimmed base rises from a platform in the middle of the greenish water, with water streaming from its top. Several people wade and bathe in the tank and sit on the steps, some in white clothes. Multi-storey concrete buildings and green trees stand behind, with hills on the horizon.
