A large black stone Shiva lingam stands on a circular yoni-shaped base at the centre of a wide, wet stone courtyard. The lingam sits on a square plinth with red and white vertical stripes. Tall retaining walls of red and white checkered brick rise on both sides, and a few palm trees and green foliage stand behind. A small figure is visible far to the left, near green plantings on the wall. No other people are prominent, and the sky is overcast.
