A large black stone Shivalingam stands on a raised platform surrounded by reflecting water, with a multicolour garland of marigold-like flowers draped over its upper half. Several shaved-headed monks in saffron-orange robes climb a metal staircase on the left, one pouring or offering something over the lingam from above during rudrabhishekam. The lingam's base is ornately carved and a red brick building with windows stands at right. The scene is mirrored clearly in the still water below.
