A large grey Shiva lingam stands on a raised square platform in the middle of a rectangular water tank, wrapped at its base in a dense band of yellow, orange and red garlands. Water trickles down its surface. A white metal staircase with railed landings climbs up beside it, and several people in saffron and orange robes stand on the upper landings near the top. Red tiered steps line the far side of the tank, where a group of people in white and saffron clothing sit and stand in rows. The water reflects the structure and the bright sky, with trees and a few banners at the back.
