A photograph inside a small whitewashed shrine room with a yellow-ochre wall and a window at upper left. A woman in a cream and gold-bordered sari, with a vibhuti mark on her forehead, holds a brass bell and a small plate, seated on the floor at left. Three girls sit cross-legged beside her: one in an orange dress holding a brass plate, one in a cream and gold skirt playing a small hand cymbal, and one in an orange outfit with a braid. In front of them is a brass tray with rotis and plates of offerings, a brass cup, and a steel vessel. At right stands a large black Shivalingam dressed with a pink and orange marigold garland, a green brocade cloth, rudraksha beads and yellow flowers. The scene appears to be a morning puja with bells, offerings and prayers.
