A gold-plated Shiva lingam is adorned for worship, wrapped in dense garlands of yellow marigolds, red and pink flowers, and green leaves. Above it sits a golden crown-like ornament with five green stones, and the lingam is decorated with jeweled gold necklaces set with red, green and white stones and a large red pendant. This appears to be a decorated deity murti during an alankaram or puja setting, with a stone wall visible at the right edge. No people are visible in the frame.
