Behind him stands a bronze Nataraja murti with an orange cloth and garlands, and to the right a Shiva lingam draped in red silk and wrapped in yellow and red flower garlands sits on a red-cloth-covered base. A brass bell, a small brass vessel, scattered rose petals and hanging brass oil lamps surround the scene, a ritual setting resembling abhishekam or puja.
