A large outdoor water tank holds a tall cylindrical blue Shivling draped with a garland band of marigolds in orange, yellow and red, set on a striped platform in the water. A staircase with railings leads up to the top of the Shivling, where several people in orange and white robes stand and climb. Red-tiered stone seating surrounds the tank, with a few seated devotees in orange and white at the left and a red multi-storey building behind. The scene is a sacred abhishekam setting with the lingam decorated and approached by devotees.
