Wide elevated view of an outdoor temple tank at an ashram, where a large black Shiva lingam stands on a raised platform draped with striped red, yellow and black cloth and garlands in the middle of still green water. Rows of seated devotees in white clothing with black head coverings fill the steps in the foreground, while a crowd in white and orange robes gathers on the tiered stone steps across the water. A few people in orange garments stand near the left railing and raise their hands, and a cameraman films from the left. A gilded temple tower and a red multi-storey building rise in the background, with a few people on bleachers at the right.
