A hand in a gold-coloured pot pours milk over a black stone Shiva lingam set on a dark yoni-peetham base. The lingam is streaked white with milk running down its sides and pooling on the base. Behind it stands a gilded arched frame with floral and scrollwork carving around a red-orange backdrop, with a grey wall to the side. A bangle and gold ring are visible on the pouring hand. No people are shown beyond the hand; the scene is a shiva abhishekam offering.
