A gilded statue, not a living person, sits in a temple shrine decorated with pink flower garlands and a red-and-yellow flower crown. The gold figure wears a pleated golden turban adorned with coin-like ornaments, a red tilak and white forehead markings, pearl and ruby-studded necklaces, and a red silk garment. Its raised hand is in a blessing gesture. Behind it stands a black Shiva lingam with a silver-and-red yoni-style ornament and floral garland, plus a dark deity murti at right. Pink and white flowers and green leaves decorate the scene.
