A standing figure in saffron-orange robes and a draped orange shawl performs a ritual at a dark stone Shivalinga on a large black lotus-shaped pedestal, holding a silver tray with flowers while the other hand is extended over it. A tall brass oil lamp stands beside the linga, and a brass kalasha and small brass vessels sit on a low wooden stool in the foreground. Marigold and multicolour flower garlands hang on the right. Two seated people in orange, one at left and one partly visible behind, watch from a covered temple pavilion. A figure with long hair and an orange-robed stature appears in the silhouette; the standing figure's appearance is uncertain, so the a person field is unsure.
