A large floral Shiva lingam stands in the middle of a pool at an outdoor ashram, decorated with garlands in red, yellow, orange, green, purple and white. The base is wrapped in striped flower bands and scalloped petal borders, and a flower arch rises behind the central stone, with a small figure in red and gold clothing seated at the top of the arch. Tiered stone seating behind the pool holds a few people in white clothes sitting in rows, and a red brick building forms the backdrop. Water flows over the edge of the base, and a pool railing lies in the foreground.
