A large black stone Shivalingam rises from a circular base on a water-filled pond at sunset. A metal staircase and railing lead up to the lingam platform, and tiered red-brown seating rises in the background beside a white boundary wall. Palm trees and a small tree stand against a pale pink-orange sky, and a small statue sits on a raised ledge at right. No people are visible.

Several small figures in white clothing stand on the left-side steps and walkway near the base, and a few more stand along the upper stair railings. Red-brick terraces with white railings frame the water on both sides, and a concrete wall rises at right under a pale sky. A person with a camera stands at the top right corner. The scene is a temple setting centred on the lingam, consistent with Shiva worship.2013-06-07April 22 20152015-04-22Wide view of an open-air stepped amphitheatre-style temple tank with a large black Shiva lingam on a raised red-and-white platform in the centre of the water, reached by a metal staircase. Two priests in orange-saffron robes stand at the base of the lingam performing worship. Rows of stone steps on both sides hold a small number of seated and standing devotees, and red flags line the walkways under a pale evening sky with palm trees behind the boundary wall.2016-10-17April 22 20142014-04-22Dusk view of a large black Shivalingam on a square platform standing in still water, its reflection mirrored below. A silver yoni-style band or plaque is fixed at its middle and it is wrapped with a garland of flowers. Behind it, tiered red-brown stadium-style seating and a multi-storey red brick building with a tower. White metal railings and staircases lead up the tiers. On the left, a few small figures in orange and white robes stand by the steps, appearing to be people in ritual dress; they are too small and distant to count precisely. A small white gazebo-like structure is at the far left edge.2013-10-28November 04 20132013-11-04November 04 20132013-11-04September 01 20142014-09-01September 01 20142014-09-01
