A photograph of a decorated Shiva lingam and deity murti set before a hanging of orange silk and red and green drapes, with a golden stucco-style frame to either side. The black lingam wears a crown-like silver and gold headpiece with green and yellow bead-tipped hangings, a large yellow and magenta flower garland, and a brown rudraksha-style mala. In front sits a small white marble-like arched altar holding a standing silver-toned deity murti draped with a garland. Brass and silver puja vessels, a silver kettle-shaped pot, a tall brass oil lamp with a wide bowl, and a bundled cloth sit on the ground. Stone-coloured statues of standing figures in red and blue dhotis, with bejewelled arms and a necklace, stand behind the scene.
