A black stone Shivalingam on a matching yoni-pitha base is being bathed with flowing water, which runs down the lingam and across the base onto the wet floor. Behind it, a wall of grey-green tiles is topped by a draped fabric with red, gold and green patterns. At the lower left edge, a partial bare foot and white cloth of a person are visible. The scene shows a lingam abhishekam during a Shivaratri-style puja. No other people are visible.
