A decorated Shiva lingam is the main subject, dressed with a maroon and gold cloth wrap, a gold band around its base, a rudraksha-bead garland and marigold and red flower garlands, with gold necklaces and a jewelled face mask-like ornament. Behind it hangs a deep purple cloth with gold border. Brass lamps, a brass bell and a small copper shrine-like yantra or shrivatsa-shaped base sit in the foreground on an orange silk cloth, with a small figure of a deity on the right. No people are visible, so this is a photograph of a dressed deity murti in a shrine setting, consistent with a puja or alankaram arrangement.
