Wide view of an open-air stone amphitheatre-style pool with tiered red steps lined with rows of empty seats. At the centre of the water stands a large dark stone Shivalinga on a circular base, with a small raised platform beside it draped in a red and white striped cloth where several people in saffron and orange robes sit performing a ritual. A stone Nandi bull statue faces the linga from the near edge of the pool. In the foreground, a woman with long dark hair in an orange-red garment tends brass vessels and pots near the pool steps, with a tripod-mounted camera at the right edge. Red flags and a multi-storey pink building appear in the background.
