Outdoor photo of a large black Shivalinga standing in shallow water of a reflecting pool, with water cascading from its top and sides. Behind it, tiered red-and-white stone seating rises beside an orange and grey multi-storey building. In the water at right, two bare-chested men in white dhotis wade beside a small golden palanquin-like shrine decorated with red and orange garlands, holding a deity murti under a canopy. Trees and a pale sky frame the scene.
