A three-panel collage of a Shivalinga shrine at a garden of potted Shivalinga stones. The top panel shows a black stone Shivalinga draped with white cloth, a yellow marigold garland and a white flower garland, with red flowers at its base and a stone plaque reading as a donation credit. Bells and a brass lamp sit to the left. The bottom two panels show two men in white dhotis and bare upper bodies: one stands with folded hands while the other, bending down, offers a garland or flowers to the Linga. Rows of terracotta pots line the background. No a person candidate is visibly identifiable.

A small brass oil lamp and a brass handbell sit to the left on the ground, and petals are scattered around. Behind it, rows of terracotta pots and additional black lingams line red-brick steps, with green plants visible.
