Inside a temple shrine with gilded arch and green drape, a seated pair of deity murtis adorned with garlands of red and yellow flowers and gold necklaces sits behind a black stone shivalinga on a black pedestal. Two young boys in maroon dhotis attend the shrine: one at left bends toward brass vessels, the other at left edge gestures near the lingam. At right, a figure in saffron-orange robes holds an open book and chants or reads, beside a metal lamp stand. A small statue in an arched niche to the right wears an orange turban and garland. The scene is a puja at a shrine.
