A temple puja scene before a golden deity murti of Shiva and Parvati, adorned with a crown, jewelled necklaces and red-and-yellow flower garlands framing an arched backdrop. In the foreground a bare-backed priest in saffron-orange cloth stands with his back to the camera, holding a lit lamp toward a large Shivalinga draped in marigold and rose garlands. Brass oil lamps stand at right and left, with a seated priest in red attire and a figure in a red turban beside them. Lower right, a devotee's head is visible. The setting is a gold-decorated shrine, consistent with an abhishekam or aarti.
