Photograph of a shrine inside a temple hall for the Maha Shivaratri observance at KAILASA Seeragapadi. In the centre, a Shiva lingam is decorated with a silver-and-gold face, garlands of yellow marigolds and multicoloured flowers, and a pink flower on top, set on a green cloth on a golden stand. Behind it, a golden statue of a seated man wearing an orange and gold-patterned garment and a saffron headwrap sits on an ornate gold throne with a red-maroon backdrop, draped in orange and marigold garlands. Brass oil lamps flank the lingam, and on the lower left and right trays of fruit, sweets and food are arranged on pink cloths. A bunch of bananas and coconuts sits in front. A sign reads KAILASA SEERAGAPADI BHARATH, with a small framed portrait of a smiling man in saffron at top right. No living people are visible.
