A temple shrine with gilded arches and a red curtain backdrop. A priest with bare upper body and orange cloth wrapped at the waist pours or offers something over a black shivalinga-like stone on a pedestal, held with one hand. Behind him, a large gilded deity murti of a male figure with a trident and a female figure in a red and gold sari sit on a purple-draped throne. Flanking statues include a blue-robed figure with a jeweled necklace on the left and a saint-like figure in red-orange robes with rudraksha beads and a red turban on the right. Brass oil lamps stand on the right, and a small brass pot sits on a side table. Figures are statues, not physical people.2021-08-21June 29 20182018-06-29 +1 copiesADIKAILASA on 8/21/20212021-08-21June 28 20132013-06-28December 20 20182018-12-20 +1 copiesNovember 15 20212021-11-15Inside a richly gilded temple shrine, a bare-chested priest in an orange-red dhoti and sacred thread bends over a black stone shivalingam set on a black peetha, performing abhishekam.
