Rows of black stone Shivalingams are arranged on tiered brick steps leading down toward a water tank. A woman in an orange-saffron sari walks down the steps on the right, beside a green hose. Behind the lingams, a line of people in white and saffron stands along red-flagged railings near the water. Red flags flutter above the railing, and a stepped temple structure appears at the top edge.

A photograph of a stepped ghat beside water, lined with many black stone Shivalingas set in rows on the steps. Several people in orange and saffron robes, including a shaven-headed monk in orange, stand among the lingas, along with women in white and blue saris and kurtas. Red and orange flags line the railing above, and a brass vessel sits at the lower right corner. The ritual appears to be an abhishekam at the lingas.2016-09-19September 19 20162016-09-19 +2 copiesSeptember 19 20162016-09-19September 19 20162016-09-19Photograph of a stepped stone terrace lined with rows of grey stone Shivalingams on pedestals, descending toward a still pond with a white railing along its edge.
