A woman in a red sari stands at left with palms pressed together in namaste, facing a black stone Shivalingam on a dark yoni-peetha base. The lingam is draped with a yellow-gold cloth and dotted with red flowers, and sits before a gilded arched frame with a red-and-orange cloth backdrop. A brass trident stands against the white wall at left. A framed printed portrait at right shows a smiling figure with long dark hair, a pink garment and beaded red-and-white necklaces; a portrait with no readable caption, so no identity is attributed. The setting is an indoor shrine room with a dim tiled floor.
