A two-panel photograph of a temple shrine arranged for worship. Each panel shows a black shiva lingam set on a gold yoni base with a tall gold-and-red striped cloth, draped in white jasmine garlands and red flowers, with green leaves on top. Flanking the lingam are standing figures in green and gold garments, and a bowl of bananas and flowers sits in front. Behind are larger standing deity statues in saffron-orange robes and white garlands, one with raised hands, under a gold arch. No living people are visible; all figures are statues, so the people count is zero and no a person candidate is present.
