Interior view of a small shrine in Varanasi showing a black Shivalingam set in a square stone yoni base on a checkered black and white marble floor. The lingam is draped with a red and gold cloth and a green leaf, wrapped with a beaded red and white garland and a thick white flower garland with yellow and orange blooms. An orange cloth lies beside it. Behind is a red brocade backdrop framed by gilded arches. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a white conch shell with a red flower rests on a small black stone figure in front. No people are visible.
