A photograph of a temple shrine lit by brass oil lamps, decorated with multicoloured flower garlands arching over the alcove. In the centre, a man stands in a rust-red dhoti and shawl with a gold necklace, a pink-and-white flower garland, and a red turban-like headwear, raising one hand in blessing while holding a trident-like staff. Behind him, deity murti in gold crowns and jewellery stand with a golden shivalinga-style form before them. Flanking statues of a figure in yellow and purple and a robed figure in rust-red stand beside lamps. The swami appears to be a person by his saffron-red clothing, rudraksha-like ornamentation and gold necklaces, standing as a devotee at the shrine.
