November 23 20102010-11-23Night photograph of a large black granite Shiva lingam on a raised platform above a reflecting pool, with water jets arcing up and over it from several directions. Strings of marigold garlands hang down the lingam and beside it, and a metal scaffold ladder stands behind. Tiers of red stone steps on the left hold a small group of people in white clothes, and string lights decorate the background. The lingam is a deity murti, and no person is clearly the main subject.2010-11-23November 23 20102010-11-23November 23 20102010-11-23November 23 20102010-11-23November 22 20102010-11-22December 01 20092009-12-01 +2 copiesNight photograph of a large black stone Shivalingam with a horizontal white and red striped band, set on a square black pedestal in water.
