A photograph of a large black stone Shivling standing on a circular yoni pedestal in an open outdoor courtyard, with water jets spraying up around it from the sides, creating a mist. Red-painted tiered seating stands behind it, and a few workers in the background tend to the area beside a multi-storey concrete building. A small plaque sits on the base of the platform. No people are prominently in the foreground, and no one is shown in ritual activity at the Shivling itself.
