Inside a stone-carved temple shrine, a man in a white kurta and saffron-orange shawl with a rudraksha mala holds a brass oil lamp with a bright flame toward a black stone lingam decorated with green leaf garlands, white flowers and orange marigolds. The lingam bears a black cloth with white Devanagari script. A devotee in the lower left foreground has palms pressed together in prayer. A man in an orange shirt stands behind the railing, and a few other men are at the doorway. Scattered flower petals and offerings lie on a tray at the base of the shrine.
