A photograph of a large dark cylindrical lingam, a Shiva linga, standing on a round basin while water sprays and cascades from jets around it. Behind it, tiered red-brick steps hold rows of small potted plants with yellow flowers, and a grey building and trees rise in the background. A few tiny figures, a worker in light clothes near the top of the steps and a person seated lower down in yellow, are visible but are small and partly obscured. The scene is a sunlit outdoor setting with water mist catching the light.
