A large black stone Shivalingam rises from a square black yoni pedestal set on a platform in the middle of a still, reflective water tank. A blue-and-white garland with rounded ends hangs near the top of the linga, and a small placard is attached to its face. Steps with white metal railings lead up from the water to tiered red stone seating in the background. Several people in orange and saffron robes stand on the steps and along the railing, with a few people in white clothing on the left bank. Their reflections appear in the water. A red multi-storey building stands behind the tiers. A black stone carved figure in the foreground, with a small garland, sits at the edge of the water.
