The lingam is wet and glistening, topped and dusted with diced yellow and white fruit pieces, with more fruit scattered in the basin. Partly visible at left, a person in a white garment with a gold border and gold bangles pours or offers near the lingam. Behind it stand a deity murti draped in blue and pink silk with gold borders, orange marigold garlands, pink lotus flowers, and a green cloth on a pink-and-gold patterned table. Brass or silver panels line the wall and fruit bowls sit at the sides.
