A photograph of a dark stone Shivling on a tiered black base set on red stone steps, with a small brass naga-shaped object and a lit oil lamp beside it. Behind it sits a small figurine of a seated man in a red-orange garment with a red-orange turban, a beaded necklace and bangles, the figurine appearing to be a depiction rather than a physical person. Brass bowls and a brass vessel stand nearby. No physical people are visible. The figurine's appearance has several cues, but the page does not establish who it depicts, so identity is left unsure.
