A large black stone Shivling stands on a square platform in the middle of a reflecting water pool, its surface washed with milk-like liquid running down the front and a multicoloured flower garland arched over its top. Several robed priests in saffron-orange garments stand on a raised metal scaffold and along tiered red-brick steps beside the pool, some holding vessels and offerings during an abhishekam. A red multi-storey building rises behind the scene under pale sky, and leafy branches frame the top left. The shrine's dark reflection is visible in the still water below.
