Worship of Stone Image of Shiva and Parvati within a Shrine
A weathered painting depicts a shrine scene. The shrine features an arched niche in a brick wall, containing a stone carving of two figures. The figure on the left is male with four arms, seated with legs crossed. He wears a crown and a necklace. The female figure on the right has long hair and is adorned with a necklace. She sits close to the male figure. The stone carving sits on a decorative platform within the niche. A row of white flowers lines the front of the platform. The platform outside the niche features three steps leading up to it. A section of brick wall is visible on the left of the niche and a short wall with a torch is on the right. The painting's background resembles aged paper with darker and lighter brown patches.
