A large decorated Shivalinga stands on a platform in the middle of a still reflecting pool, its base wrapped in striped yellow, orange and black fabric and its top adorned with garlands of marigolds and a white band. Tiered terraces of seated people in white clothing fill the surrounding amphitheatre, rising behind the water on both sides, with a red brick building and bare trees behind. The water mirrors the lingam and the terraces in a calm early-morning light.
