A black stone murti of Shiva stands within a dark arched prabhavali backdrop, wearing a white dhoti with a red and gold border, a black waist cord and rudraksha malas. Red flower garlands hang over the shoulders, a silver trident rests beside the figure, and a white tilak with a red bindu marks the forehead. In the lower foreground, the shaved heads of two devotees are partly visible, with one person in white clothing at the bottom edge. The setting appears to be a temple or ashram shrine with a terracotta wall and a green metal gate.
