A large grey stone Shivalingam rises from a black yoni-pitha base on a red-and-white striped platform standing in still water. The lingam is draped with a garland of yellow, red and white flowers. Behind it are brick steps lined with small black Shivalingams, a red building and a white-and-green tent. Two small shrines flank the platform, one with a seated deity murti and orange cloth, the other with a figure in red. Two people in saffron and white clothing stand at the top of the lingam at the rear. Their reflection shows clearly in the water.
