A large black stone Shivling stands on a square platform in the middle of a still reflecting pool at an outdoor amphitheatre. The lingam has a white marking near its base, a garland of flowers wrapped around its upper section, and a black yoni-shaped pitha base. Along the left side, several monastics in saffron and orange robes stand on the tiered walkway and steps. Rows of empty red seats fill the stepped terraces behind the pool, with red-brick buildings beyond.
