A dark cylindrical Shivling stands on a round black base in the foreground, its top capped with a small gold ornament. A child's hand holds a long golden spout or abhishekam vessel, pouring liquid onto the lingam. Two people in maroon robes with gold trim sit beside it, one on the left in the blur and one on the right whose arm is visible. The background shows red-painted steps and a blurred stone wall.
