Yellow and orange marigold flowers are placed at their feet and in their hands. In front sits a black stone shivalingam on a yoni base, decorated with a marigold and smeared with orange kumkum. Behind, a large framed picture of a deity is garlanded with yellow marigold and red flower garlands. Scattered petals lie on the tray.
