A temple shrine scene where a person in an orange-saffron cloth is seen from behind, pouring or offering over a black stone shivalingam set on a black stone yoni-pitha base. Behind it, seated deity murtis with gold crowns, garlands of white and pink flowers and gold ornaments sit within a red and gold backdrop. Two standing statues flank the shrine: one on the left in green and orange garments, one on the right in a yellow-and-brown headwrap, red dhoti and a large necklace, both garlanded. Brass oil lamps stand at right and scattered pink petals cover the wet floor. The page excerpt mentions a Tamil satsang, but the visible shrine is not tied to that event.
