A large blue-skinned statue of Shiva stands in front of a white temple with a tall spire and red trim. The murti holds a trident in one hand and a staff in the other, with a tiger-skin-like garment and an orange-brown shawl draped over the shoulders, and a serpent coils around the upper branches of a tree beside him. A stone lion sculpture sits on a pedestal at left, and a small orange building and trees fill the background. Offerings and flowers lie at the base of the statue. One pedestrian walks past in the lower centre and a person's hand appears at the lower right.
