Night photograph of an illuminated outdoor ceremony at a temple-style pond. A large black Shivalinga stands in the water on a square red-and-white platform, with a tall water fountain spraying behind it. Rows of seated devotees fill the stone terraces on both sides, many in white clothing, facing the pond. Small figures near the centre are seated under a light canopy on a raised platform beside the water. Strings of coloured lights, red and green, outline the pavilions and the tiered building at right, and a bright floodlight glows in the background.
