Photograph of a large black stone Shivalinga on a black yoni-pitha base, standing in shallow brown floodwater with its reflection visible. A garland of red, white, yellow and blue flowers arches over the lingam. Behind it, a red-brick multi-storey building has a white metal staircase and railings; several monks in orange and saffron robes stand on the stairs and upper platform, and a few more are visible on lower steps. Red brick tiered seating lines the water's edge. A small purple logo appears in the lower left corner.
