The linga sits on a dark yoni-peetha base with a golden lamp-like stand below, and an orange-gold arched backdrop frames it. White tripundra marks adorn his arms and forehead. Pale stone walls and a glass-fronted shrine enclose the scene, indicating abhishekam ritual offering.2022-01-10A man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands under a stone pavilion, pouring water from a silver vessel onto a dark black Shivalingam set on a tiered black stone yoni-pitha base.

Behind the lingam, a deity murti is draped in a pink and green cloth and garlanded with yellow, red and white flower garlands. A brass lamp stands beside the lingam, and a small gold kalasha-shaped object sits on an orange stool at lower left with marigold petals scattered nearby.

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.
