Outdoor photo of a large black Shiva lingam in a central pool, draped in multicoloured marigold and flower garlands in red, orange, yellow, green and white, with a white horizontal band across its upper face. Several monks in orange-saffron robes stand on a metal scaffold staircase at left, wearing red and orange garlands, some with hands folded and one holding an object aloft. Rows of orange-clad monks sit on red tiered stands behind the lingam, and a red brick building stands beyond. The lingam's base is striped red and white and reflected in still water.

A metal staircase with railings climbs to a raised platform beside the lingam, where several saffron-robed men in maroon and orange clothing stand, some carrying offerings, one in the group appearing to hold a vessel. Red stone steps with more robed figures sit to the right, and the reflection shows the garlands in the water. This appears to be an abhishekam ritual at a lingam set in a pool. A few robed figures are visible on the stairs and platform, and others are seated further back.2013-07-29A large dark grey Shivalinga stands on a red-and-white striped platform in the middle of a water tank, its base draped with a flower garland in red, orange, yellow, and green.
