A photograph of a large Shiva lingam set on a raised platform in the middle of a still reflecting pool at an outdoor ashram venue. The lingam is decorated with bands of marigold garlands in yellow, orange, red and purple, and a white cloth is wrapped around its base. Red-tiered stone seating rises on both sides, with a red-painted building and palm fronds decorating the stairs. A few people in white and orange clothes stand on the left stairs, and a crane-mounted camera hangs above the scene.
