A photograph of an outdoor temple shrine with grey stone pillars, red curtains and a golden arch. Two large deity murtis, one dark-skinned with a tall crown and one with a tall headdress, are garlanded with yellow and orange flowers and stand on a green seat. A standing priest in an orange-red robe with a sacred thread bends forward and pours liquid from a small brass vessel over a white stone lingam in a basin. Potted ferns and flower arrangements decorate the shrine, two brass oil lamps stand on an orange-draped table in front, and framed photographs with red flowers sit on the table. Two people are visible, the priest and a second figure in the distance, so the count is approximate.
