Photograph of a gilded temple shrine with no people present. At the centre sits a black Shiva lingam draped in a purple cloth and heavily garlanded with pink, yellow and red flower malas, with a silver face mask and a horseshoe-shaped floral arch above it. Behind it, a gold-framed arch holds a standing golden deity murti in a purple and pink sari-like garment with a crown, flanked by smaller murtis dressed in blue and red garments with garlands. Tall brass oil lamps (deepams) stand on both sides, and a painted forest backdrop with red and gold decorated ceremonial umbrellas frames the shrine under a gold-coloured ornate ceiling.
