A photograph of a decorated Shiva lingam on a gilded brass yoni pedestal inside a temple. The lingam is draped in a hot pink silk cloth with a green sash and a dense collar of silver-white stone-set jewellery with pink stones and teardrop pendants. Red and pink petals and a white flower with yellow centre lie on the metal floor, with two yellow chrysanthemums on the pedestal. Behind it is an ornate embossed gold-toned panel with a relief of two seated deities, and a figure in a blue sari stands at the right edge. No people are seated before the lingam, so the count is limited to the partially visible figure.
