Close-up photograph of a richly decorated Shiva linga in a temple sanctum. The silver-and-gold linga is adorned with a diamond-studded gold tripundra-style ornament with a red stone at its centre, a dark rudraksha mala draped around its base, and gold beaded garlands. A red silk cloth covers the base, which rests on a golden coiled serpent (naga) pedestal. White, yellow and red flower garlands frame the upper corners. No people are visible.
