A richly decorated temple shrine dominated by a gold-plated Shiva lingam with three horizontal white stripes, set in a gilded bow-shaped frame and draped in red satin cloth. Garlands of red, yellow and purple flowers surround the lingam and the golden deity figures above. Below, a white marble statue of a seated figure, not a living person, sits with palms joined in namaste, wearing a white garment with a green-bordered shawl, a green headband and red beads. Brass bowls and oil lamps stand at the base, and a bed of mixed flowers lines the front. No people are physically visible.
