A dark stone Shiva lingam is dressed for worship and covered in marigold and red flower garlands with blue-jeweled white flower accents. A cobra hood of gold heads with green gem pendants rises above it, an orange cloth is wrapped near the top, and a lavender cloth drapes the base. Strands of rudraksha beads hang down, a jeweled band and red-stoned medallion decorate the front, and a gold bowl-shaped base holds the arrangement. No people are visible; the scene is a deity murti adorned for abhishekam-style decoration.
