A row of dark green-black Shiva lingams on tiered stone bases stands in a temple hall, lit by warm oil lamps placed along the front ledges. Behind them, a wall of red and white painted stripes holds several small carved Shiva lingam or deity murti niches, each with a lamp on its shelf. No people are visible in the scene. The lingams catch greenish reflections from the lighting, and the flames glow softly in the foreground.
