A photograph inside a temple shrine with a deity murti of Shiva and Parvati, adorned with garlands of yellow and orange flowers and a dark kumkum-marked figure. A man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, with a shaved head and rudraksha mala, bends forward to perform abhishekam over a white stone lingam set in a basin before the deities. Flanking the shrine are a golden standing figure, potted ferns and bright floral arrangements. On the foreground altar, three framed photographs of a young girl with red flowers sit amid oil lamps, brass plates, blue boxes and offerings on an orange cloth.
