Outdoors among trees, a black stone Shiva lingam sits on a wooden pallet platform, wrapped partly in white cloth and decorated with red roses. Offerings around its base include fruits such as apples, oranges and a banana, a coconut, a yellow block, flowers and an oil lamp. An older man in a yellow kurta, grey vest and Nepali-style topi kneels and reaches toward the lingam, while a woman in an orange floral sari and red garland folds her hands in prayer at right. Another woman in an orange floral sari stands at left, and a man in a red vest and a man in a yellow shirt are behind, with a few more people partly visible at the edges.

Outdoors among trees, a woman in an orange saree with red floral print and red blouse stands beside a dark stone Shivling placed on a wooden pallet. A white cloth drapes the lingam, and red roses, apples, oranges, bananas, coconut halves and a small brass oil lamp sit as offerings. Around her, a man in a yellow Reebok t-shirt watches, and two men in yellow kurtas with white dhotis or pyjamas stand barefoot, one with a folded checked shawl. A partially visible person in a red kurta stands at the right edge, and a figure in a floral saree is at the left.
