Inside a stone temple shrine, a shaven-headed priest in white dhoti with gold border and a gold chain stands near a black stone lingam on a dark peetha, pouring or wiping it with a white cloth. A second white-clad priest with white ash marks on his arms and chest stands at left with hands clasped. Behind them stands a large deity murti with an orange turban-like crown, red and white garlands, gold ornaments and a golden-orange dhoti, beside a second deity figure in red and gold, under a golden arch with blue curtain backdrop. A small white marble seated figure sits at the base and a blue-robed statue stands at right. Golden kalasha-like vessels rest at lower left.
