A man in white ritual clothes with a yellow shawl bends forward at a black stone shivalingam set in a dark stone yoni-pitha base. His right hand rests on a small golden stepped sri-yantra-style metal object placed on a wooden stand in front. Behind him a pink-robed deity murti stands beneath colourful garlands and a gold-embroidered garment; a red and yellow flower garland hangs in the upper left. The scene suggests a puja at the lingam.

He wears a rudraksha mala and a red-brown pendant. Behind him, painted deity murtis stand in a temple shrine, including a figure in blue with multiple arms and garlands and a figure in green with a tall headdress. A small golden statue of a standing devotee and a dark-clothed deity figure flank the base, with a silver sri yantra-style object in front.
