A decorated temple shrine dominated by a dark stone Shivalinga-like form draped with an orange cloth and a gold bracelet-style band, framed by a large arch of garlands in red, yellow, purple and green flowers with red stone accents. In front sits a white marble statue of a seated sage in purple robes and a purple turban with a red tilak, one hand raised in blessing and a rudraksha-style mala around the neck. Brass oil lamps flank the base, and a gilded kalasha-style vessel sits at the top of the linga. Behind, a golden deity figure with a crown and ornate blue garment is partly visible. Photo credit text appears at the upper right of the frame.
