A dark stone Shiva lingam set in a black stone basin, crowned by a golden hooded serpent canopy (naga) above. The lingam wears a red and white tripundra-style marking, a white dhoti-like cloth with red and gold bordered edges, and a dense garland of red and white flowers with mirrored ornaments and beaded necklaces. Brass oil lamps sit on a shelf in the background and a carved stone nandi-like figure stands in the foreground near a bronze pot with a turmeric-yellow offering. No people are visible; the image is a timestamped photograph of a deity murti, shown as an abhishekam-style worship setup.
