A photograph of a temple shrine decorated for Karthigai Deepam. A golden seated figure on a lotus pedestal, wearing a red turban and garlands, is set in front of a magenta cloth backdrop. A sign reads KAILASA SALEM BHARATH. Beside it, a dark shivalinga draped in a maroon cloth with gold border and a silver-and-garland adornment sits on a decorated base. In the foreground are small painted figurines in pink and red dress, brass oil lamps with lit wicks, a brass plate of flower petals and offerings, and a brass kalasha-like vessel. Scattered petals cover the white cloth.
