A young boy in white dhoti with bare chest and white sacred ash markings on his body stands at left, holding a lit oil lamp toward a shrine. Before him sits a large black Shivalingam on a golden yoni-peetha base, with offerings of fruit, flowers and lotus blossoms nearby. Behind it stands a dark-blue deity murti draped in red and gold cloth, adorned with orange marigold garlands and a red-and-orange headdress, beside a second figure in a pink sari. Ornate gold temple carvings, a golden elephant motif and hanging red and orange flower strings frame the scene.
