Temple sanctum with a black Shiva linga adorned with yellow and orange flower garlands, a silver tripundra, and rudraksha beads, set before a golden deity murti of a seated figure with a raised hand and crown, flanked by a deity figure with a spear and a second figure. Four priests stand around: one bare-chested in white dhoti with a blue head cloth pours from a vessel toward the linga, two hold trays of pink flower petals, one in white dhoti and white turban holds petals and wears rudraksha malas. A bronze Nandi sits in the foreground, a yellow-draped table holds brass vessels and marigold petals, and peacock feather fans and gold drapery frame the altar. This appears to be an abhishekam offering at the altar.
