A large black stone Shivalingam rises from a shallow pool in an outdoor setting. The lingam is decorated with garlands of orange and white flowers, a gold yoni-patta style ornament and a wrapped cloth band. Water sprays from the top and sides of the lingam. Tiered red-and-white striped steps surround the pool, where a few people stand and bathe in the water, and several others in white and orange clothing stand along the steps. Trees and a blue barrier fence are behind, under an overcast sky.

Water jets spray upward around it, and a garland of flowers hangs down the lingam. Many people bathe and wade in the water around the lingam; some stand on the pedestal and tank edge, including a figure in white near the base. On the right, a group of people in white and saffron clothing gathers beside a decorated palanquin with flower garlands and an umbrella-like canopy. Trees, poles and bare ground surround the tank.2009-01-02A large black stone Shiva lingam with a grey upper section and a yoni-shaped base stands on a floating black platform in a pool of water. The lingam is garlanded with a flower garland and a strand of marigolds and red tassels wraps the base. Water spouts from the yoni spout and streams down around the lingam. Tiered red and white steps rise behind, where several people sit and stand watching, a few in white clothes and one holding a pink umbrella. A decorated canopy with red and orange flags stands at the left edge. The scene looks like an outdoor consecration at a water tank with a rocky hillside behind.2009-06-09A large black stone Shiva lingam with a rounded top stands on a square black platform in a water tank, decorated with garlands of marigolds and multicoloured flowers around its base and shaft. Water fountains spray behind it against a striped red-and-white stepped wall with green foliage and palm trees beyond. Several people in white clothes wade in the water around the platform, one standing near the right edge of the platform and others at the lower left and lower right corners. Looks like a ritual bathing or abhishekam setting at a temple tank.2009-07-08July 07 20092009-07-07A photograph of a large black Shivalinga standing on a square platform in the middle of a rectangular tiered pool at an outdoor temple site.
