A black stone Shivalinga stands in the foreground on a yoni base, with a white milk-streaked image of a four-armed deity murti in the centre, flanked by two gold-coloured metal figures: a smaller standing male figure on the left and a female figure draped in a yellow cloth on the right. Milk or liquid runs down the white figure, and marigold and red flower petals are scattered in the tray water. Behind them, a deity with garlands of yellow and red flowers and a maroon cloth is visible.
