A photograph of a temple shrine interior with no people visible. On the left a gilded statue of a seated figure with raised hand wearing a red and gold turban and marigold garlands sits on a golden lotus pedestal flanked by golden trident and ornaments; the figure is a statue, not a physical person. To the right a black Shiva lingam wrapped in a maroon and gold cloth and draped with multicoloured flower garlands stands on a white-draped altar. In the foreground are brass plates with flowers, fruit, vibhuti, kumkum, a small oil lamp, a brass bell, and small deity figurines decorated with hibiscus and garlands, including a green-clad figure and a figure with a snake-hood garland. A purple and orange backdrop surrounds the shrine. A sign above the lingam reads KAILASA SALEM BHARATH. A date and location stamp is in the lower right.
