A photograph of an outdoor Shiva lingam on a raised stone platform in the middle of a still rectangular water tank. The lingam is a tall dark stone form draped with a garland of multicoloured flowers and marigolds in bands of yellow, orange, pink, white and green. In the foreground a dark stone Nandi bull's head rises from the water, with a red and pink flower garland around its neck. Behind the tank are rows of seating and a multi-storey red building. On the terraces and steps several saffron-robed people stand at the side of the water, and some figures sit among the rows, so the scene is partly visible and partly reflected. The water reflects the structures and garlands.
