Maha Shivaratri worship at a Shiva lingam decorated with flower garlands in red, yellow and purple. A bare-chested priest in saffron dhoti holds a burning oil lamp with a rudraksha-beaded garland, while a shaved-headed priest in orange cloth with rudraksha malas stands beside him with palms joined in prayer. Another person with joined palms is visible at the left edge. Behind the lingam is a tall flower-garlanded pillar and a stone carved archway, with a dark background.
