A temple priest in a white dhoti with a gold border and bare chest pours liquid from a brass pot over a black Shiva Lingam set on a dark stone base. Behind the lingam, a black stone deity murti with a crown and a seated consort wear gold-and-orange garments and are decorated with white flower garlands. Orange and gold drapery frames the shrine. In the foreground, a smaller golden lingam sits in a brass tray under a pink cloth covering, with rose petals scattered nearby.
