A large black linga-form deity murti stands on a red-tiled raised platform, draped in layered garlands of orange, yellow, purple, green and white flowers, with a white tripundra marking on its front. Banana plants flank the base, and the murti is reflected in a wet pool of water in the foreground. Tiered red stone steps on the left hold a seated crowd of people dressed in white, and a few seated figures in orange clothing sit on the right beside rows of chairs. A red-roofed building stands behind, under an overcast sky.
