A large black stone Shivling stands on a square platform in the middle of a still water pool, reflected clearly on the surface. A multicoloured garland of red, yellow, green and blue hangs around the upper part of the lingam, and a small white plaque is fixed to its front. Red-brick stepped terraces rise behind the pool, lined with rows of small oil lamps and potted plants. Several figures in saffron and orange robes stand on the steps and along the railings at the left, and a few people in white clothes are visible near the water's edge. Tall flagpoles and a red multi-storey building frame the background under a hazy sky.
