A fruit-decorated Shiva lingam stands on a stone platform in a temple shrine, built into a tiered pyramid of sliced fruit, bananas, oranges, apples and watermelon, with orange and yellow marigold-like garlands draped around it. Behind it, two black stone deity murti are dressed in red and gold silks with flower garlands and gold jewellery. Bowls of cut fruit, nuts and sweets and a tray of gold-coloured items sit in front. A decorated painted pillar stands at left. No people are visible.
