In the foreground a man with long dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a beaded necklace and a rust-brown wrap walks along a striped mat on a wet concrete courtyard, followed by a younger person in orange robes. Behind them a large silver-topped shivalinga stands on a black pedestal above a stepped platform, with a seated figure in orange and a red-and-gold throne-like seat beside it. Red-tiered stone seating rises on the right, and a few people in orange are visible on the stairs and platform. Trees and a red brick building frame the scene.
