A large black stone Shiva lingam stands on a black yoni pedestal in an open courtyard, with water streaming from multiple jets around it in arcs. Tiered red and white stone steps and seating rise behind the lingam, with potted green plants along the top edge. A partially built concrete multi-storey building and a few trees sit in the background under a pale sky. The pedestal base has a square red and white striped plinth in front. No people are clearly visible; a small figure appears far back near the steps.
