A photograph of a Shiva lingam dressed for worship, set before a golden five-headed cobra hood. Garlands of yellow marigolds and red roses drape down the sides, with green leaf accents and white-and-blue flower bands. A dark rudraksha-style cord wraps the lingam, and a golden band with a red stone rests at its base on a golden peetha. Behind it hang sequined red and gold fabrics and decorative chariot-style panels. No people are visible.

The figure wears a deep maroon-brown head covering and a rudraksha mala with ornate gold jewelled plates and a gold waist ornament. Behind, purple and gold fabric and gold-toned sculpted figures are visible. The gold serpent canopy suggests a deity form or a ceremonial decorated murti rather than a living person.2016-12-17December 17 20162016-12-17November 21 20152015-11-21December 22 20182018-12-22 +2 copiesPhoto 11724211December 22 20182018-12-22December 20 20182018-12-20December 04 20182018-12-04April 07 20192019-04-07A dark stone Shiva lingam is the central object, set in a round silver yoni-pitha base and decorated with a white three-striped Tripundra marking and a red bindi-like mark.
