A priest in a white dhoti and shawl with gold borders, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala across his torso, stands bent forward at an altar offering a tray of red flowers beside a small flame. Behind him a large fountain-style shivalinga rises from a black stone base with water flowing over it, flanked by golden deity figures in orange and red garments. A white marble seated figure of a sage sits in the foreground and a small brass lamp burns at left. Teal drapery and gilded temple pillars frame the shrine.
