A woman in a rust-red saree with a gold border stands with her back to the camera, hands pressed together in anjali mudra before an outdoor granite shrine. Her neck is adorned with a rudraksha mala and she wears hoop earrings and glasses. Before her, a grey stone Shiva lingam on a yoni peetha is draped with a garland of yellow flowers, with granite pillars and green foliage behind. A small brass oil lamp sits on the stone platform. In the foreground, a black granite plaque carries an engraved oval portrait of an elderly bald man with a tilak, with Tamil inscription beneath. The visible woman is the only physical person; the engraved portrait is not a physical person.
