Outdoor garden shrine beside a large granite boulder. A small stone shivalingam stands on a square stone pedestal in a shallow concrete-lined pool of still water, decorated with orange marigold flowers and a red offering. Stone steps lead up behind the boulder, and terracotta roof tiles edge the red-soil bed. Scattered river stones, a potted plant, a watering can, a cluster of greenery and a white wooden fence with light industrial buildings in the background complete the scene. No people are visible.
