Photograph of a temple shrine with no people visible. A large deity murti with red and gold garments and gold ornaments stands in a gilded arch framed by red drapery, with a golden shiva lingam on a silver-and-white pedestal in front, draped in a pink cloth and garlanded with pink, yellow and white flower strings. Beside it a small purple-robed figure wearing a purple turban and rudraksha-style beads sits on a seat, presumably a statue or murti, and a second purple-clad figure stands in a red niche at right. Brass oil lamps, kalasha-type brass vessels, brass bowls, a plate of flowers and a flower-decorated tray sit on the stone platform, consistent with puja and abhishekam offerings.
