A dark stone Shiva lingam is adorned for worship, wrapped with a green cloth and draped with red rose garlands and rudraksha malas. A copper kalasha hangs suspended above it on a brass frame, and a gold-and-stone ornament and gold beaded necklace decorate its front. Behind it stand larger deity figures in teal and green silk with jeweled ornaments and white flower garlands. No people are visible; this is a decorated deity murti during ritual dressing.
