A woman in an orange sari with a tilak on her forehead pours water from a small brass vessel over a black stone shivalinga on a wet floor in a temple shrine. Behind the lingam, two painted deity murtis sit on a draped red cloth under a gold-framed arch, one holding a trident, a garland of white flowers around their shoulders. A boy in a maroon dhoti with a white marking on his forehead stands beside her near a steel pot. To the right, a smaller gilded niche holds a standing figure in orange with a rudraksha-style bead necklace and a green cloth backdrop.
