Three standing figures stand at the back, the central one in pink dhoti with a tall patterned crown and layered beaded necklaces, flanked by figures in red and pink garments. In front sits a silver-trimmed Shiva lingam under a golden hooded canopy, decorated with white and yellow flowers, on a yellow cloth. Smaller figures stand at the lower left and right, one in red with a garland, the other in a yellow sari with a long braid and flowers. Offerings lie before them: coconut halves, bananas, a steel bowl of rice, and a brass bell with a lit oil lamp at the bottom edge. No living people are visible.
