A large dark grey stone Shivalinga stands on a circular lotus-carved yoni base within a water-filled pool, with white and red striped brick walls behind it. The lingam bears three horizontal white bands with a central white marking. In the foreground, a single seated figure in orange robes and an orange headwrap sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a red patterned rug, facing the lingam. Blue tarpaulins and a multi-storey red building appear in the background. The person is seated in a meditative posture beside the shrine.

August 22 20092009-08-22A large black stone Shivalinga with a silver yoni-band stands on a red-and-white striped base beside a water pool, its reflection mirrored on the still surface under a grey sky. A single seated figure in orange robes and an orange head wrap sits cross-legged on the platform at the base of the lingam, with the reflection of the figure and lingam visible in the water. Behind, red-and-white tiered steps are partly covered with blue tarpaulin. The orange-clad figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described only by role as a seated devotee in saffron robes.2009-08-22August 22 20092009-08-22August 27 20092009-08-27 +1 copiesA large dark grey linga, dripping with white milk-like abhishekam liquid, stands in the foreground, its base wrapped in a white and silver patterned band. On a metal scaffold platform to the left, a shaved-headed priest in an orange-saffron robe and a rudraksha-style bead necklace stands with hands joined in namaste. A second man in white dhoti clothing stands at the platform edge beside brass pots and a metal vessel. Behind them are concrete construction scaffolding and bare rods under a pale overcast sky. The priest's appearance does not clearly match a person candidate, so he is described by role only.2010-10-22 +1 copiesSeptember 11 20172017-09-11October 22 20142014-10-22 +1 copiesA large black stone Shivling stands on a black yoni pedestal at the centre of a red and white striped square platform, reflected in still water in front.
