A priest with bare chest and white dhoti with gold border stands at the front, leaning forward to pour or touch a black stone shivalinga set in a dark round basin on a raised platform. Behind him are gold-decorated murti statues of deities garlanded with yellow and white flower garlands, one central figure wearing a red crown and red-and-gold sari-like dress, a second with a gold crown and red garment, and a bearded sage figure in orange-brown robes at the right. Gold arches, red drapes and a small brass pot sit to the side. A face mask is visible on the priest. Scattered petals lie on the floor.
