Close view of a dark stone deity murti in a temple shrine, with a carved face, a tall ornate crown, and a yellow turmeric or kumkum mark on the forehead. Yellow powder and small pieces of fruit or flowers sit on the crown, and the face is wet with oil or abhishekam liquid. A red cloth drapes over the shoulder against a backdrop of gold-embroidered fabric. No physical people are visible. The caption at the bottom reads Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam, Adi KAILASA, Navaratri 2021, Day 3, Rajarajeshwari Shodasha Dravya Abhishekam & Kalasha Yatra.
