A dark stone shivalinga in a hooded five-headed cobra canopy stands in a dim, rough-walled shrine. Small red kumkum dots mark the cobra's hood ridges, and a single oil lamp flame burns in the yoni-shaped base. No people are visible; the scene is a quiet nagapratishtha-style shrine with a lit lamp at the foot of the lingam.
