A temple shrine with a shivalinga being bathed by a shaved-headed priest in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, pouring water from a brass vessel over the black stone lingam. Behind the lingam stand two gold-faced deity murtis draped in purple and red garments, adorned with red flower garlands, gold necklaces and crowns, one holding a trident. A gold arched niche frames them against an orange curtain. At the right, a standing statue of a saffron-clad sannyasi with rudraksha beads and a red-orange turban is shown in a green-draped alcove. At lower left a figure in maroon robes bows. Ornate gold-painted pillars and a carved stone wall frame the scene.
