Night photograph of a large black stone Shivalinga on a reflecting pool, lit by a single lamp and the reflections in the still water. A metal staircase with railings leads up beside the lingam, and several people in white dhotis and white garments climb it, with one figure in orange robes standing on the steps near the top, another in orange on the lower walkway, and a small group in white and orange clothing gathered on the red-stepped ghat at the left edge. Lights shine on the polished stone and the water. Apart from the pictured lingam, the scene shows people in white and ochre-orange robes at a ritual site.
