Photograph of a large black stone Shiva linga under construction on a concrete plinth with a yoni-shaped base, set beside a concrete stepped tank or amphitheatre cut into bare earth. Several workers stand on the steps and at the edge of the pit, and a blue hose runs across the ground, bamboo poles and a wooden ladder lie near the base. In the background are dirt mounds, scattered trees and a pale sky. A small logo appears at the upper left and a faint copyright line sits at the lower right. Scene shows construction work in progress on the 21 foot linga.
