A Shivalinga stands on a stone yoni-pitha with flower garlands before the murti. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a small blue-robed figure sits at the base. Overhead hang strings of pink, yellow and purple flower garlands. A standing person in an orange dhoti and orange shawl, seen from behind with long dark hair, faces the shrine and offers prayers, while another figure in orange stands at the left edge. A red-clad female figure with a lamp appears in a blue-curtained niche at the right.
