A woman in an orange sari stands at the left with palms pressed together in prayer, her hair in a bun. Before her is a shrine with a golden arch framing a Shiva lingam on a black pedestal, with a pair of seated deity murti in pink, orange and gold garments behind it, one with a crescent-topped crown. Garlands of red and white flowers hang on the lingam and on the standing statues to the left and right, and a kalasha sits before the lingam. Petals are scattered on the dark stone floor. No physical person other than the woman is visible, and no a person candidate is present.
