A large stone lingam-form deity murti stands on a tall base wrapped in layers of yellow, orange and dark marigold garlands, with a metal crown-like ornament on top. A white-and-red striped stone platform holds brass pots and a kneeling priest in white dhoti. To the right, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a gold ornate throne under a canopy, with two standing attendants and rows of seated devotees on terraced steps beneath strings of orange lights. Brass lamps and a ceremonial setup surround the seated group.
