A large black stone Shivalinga stands on a square platform in the middle of a rectangular water tank, with water spouting from its top and sides. Tiered terraces of red-tiled steps and rows of potted plants line the tank's sides. Smaller black linga-shaped stones with plants sit along the foreground walkway behind a chain-link fence, and a white railing runs beside the water. A few small trees, a concrete building and a distant hill appear in the background under a cloudy sky. No people are visible.
