A large black Shivalinga stands on a square plinth with red and white striped sides in a shallow reflective pool of water at an open-air amphitheatre. A garland of marigolds wraps the lingam's upper shaft. Tiered red stone steps and rows of orange seats rise on both sides, with a few small figures in white clothing seated at the left, near a short raised platform. Potted plants line the lower right edge, and a red brick building with a tiled roof stands at the upper right. Trees and low buildings frame the background under an overcast sky.
