A large black stone Shivalinga rises from a circular yoni-shaped base in a water tank, decorated with a garland of white, yellow and purple flowers. Water sprays over the linga and a rainbow arcs across a clear blue sky. A man in a white shirt and yellow dhoti stands on the platform beside the linga. Many devotees in white clothes and red garments wade in the water around the base, while others stand on white and red striped steps at the back. Orange festival bunting stretches across the background, with palm trees and trees beyond.
