A large black stone Shivalinga with a yoni-pitha base stands in shallow water on a raised stone platform, with a red-and-orange garland of marigolds and yellow flowers draped around its shaft. Behind it, a wide flight of red stone steps rises from the water toward a white railing and a metal staircase. Near the top, a few figures in saffron and orange robes stand together, and a woman in orange sits on the steps to the right. At the lower right, a person in white stands with hands folded in prayer beside a row of metal pots. Potted plants line the steps at left. A white-clad figure wearing a dark outer robe is also visible at the top left. Several people are present, but none can be confidently identified as a person from appearance.
