A temple shrine decorated with multicoloured garlands of yellow, red, green and purple flowers. A man in a saffron-orange turban and reddish-brown dhoti, wearing a gold necklace, holds a brass bowl and performs an abhishekam or aarti before a Shiva lingam set within a deity murti pair in a golden arch. Flanking figures in yellow and saffron robes with rudraksha and gold ornaments stand on either side, with brass oil lamps burning on the ground and before the shrine. Marigold petals cover the platform.

In the centre stands a Shiva-linga style form marked with horizontal white and red lines beneath a golden arch, flanked by deity murtis in crowns and jewellery.
