Night photograph of a large black granite Shiva lingam on a raised platform above a reflecting pool, with water jets arcing up and over it from several directions. Strings of marigold garlands hang down the lingam and beside it, and a metal scaffold ladder stands behind. Tiers of red stone steps on the left hold a small group of people in white clothes, and string lights decorate the background. The lingam is a deity murti, and no person is clearly the main subject.
