A decorated Shiva lingam with a black stone face and a silver trident-marked crown-like cover stands in a temple shrine, draped in marigold, white jasmine and green-leaf garlands and dense rudraksha malas. Pearl-studded silver ornaments and an orange cloth decorate its base. In front, a clear crystal lingam rests on a gilded tray with white garland and pearl strands, and a hand holds a small silver dish of offerings at the bottom edge. Golden deity figures with folded hands flank the shrine, and a red-and-gold ornamented backdrop frames the scene. The image shows abhishekam-style adornment of the deity murti with no people visible except one partial hand.
