Two women perform Shiva-puja (worship of the Hindu god Shiva) at a linga-yoni which stands atop an elaborate, baluster-shaped pedestal. One woman waves a chauri; the other holds her hands in anjali mudra. Between them, against the yellow background, are many implements of worship, including a censer, vessels and conch shells. A band of blue sky appears above.
