A photograph of a Shiva lingam shrine in a small temple niche with yellow walls and gold-toned decorative pillars. The black stone lingam is dressed with a red and purple embroidered cloth, a white and dark banded cloth wrapped over its top, layered garlands of red, orange and white flowers, and a beaded and jewelled ornament at its base. White shell-like objects and a brass conch-shaped vessel rest on the black stone platform, with a red flower offering on a stone yoni-like base in front. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a red brocade cloth hangs behind. A timestamp overlay reads 18 Jul 2022 11:13:47 am with the location Vishwanath Gali, Bangali Tola, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
