A large black Shivalinga stands in the centre of a square reflecting pool at an outdoor ashram campus. The lingam rests on a dark circular yoni pedestal and sits on a raised platform in the water. Around the pool, rows of smaller black lingams line the stone steps, and tiered red-brick seating with scaffolding rises beyond. A leafy neem-like tree frames the left edge, with a red-brick multi-storey building and trees behind. No people are clearly visible, apart from a few distant figures near the seating area.

A garland of multicoloured flowers is draped over the top of the lingam. Rows of empty red-tiered stone seating surround the water, and a red multi-storey building stands behind. Several saffron-robed monks stand on the stepped walkway and railings at the left and upper left, with a figure in white at the top.
