A central Shiva lingam-form object is draped in white cloth and a red cloth, topped with a red flower and green leaves, and adorned with rudraksha-style beads and a marigold-orange cloth at its base. Rose and marigold petals are scattered around it, and an oil lamp sits at the left edge. Petals form the word KAILASA on the platform in front, and a hanging rudraksha mala with a white cloth hangs from a stand on the left.

A priest in white dhoti and white shirt kneels at lower left, pouring from a brass vessel onto a golden shiva lingam set on a square stone base. Behind, a large white and gold-bordered cloth backdrop is draped with red and yellow flower garlands, and scattered rose petals lie on the floor.
