Temple shrine photo of a Shiva-Parvati deity pair, golden-faced murtis in gold and white jewelled garments, framed by a large arch of marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. In front, a black stone lingam sits in a basin of abhishekam, and a bare-chested priest in maroon dhoti with gold border pours liquid over it while a woman in red sari with long hair bends forward beside him. Other priests in maroon and saffron-toned cloth stand nearby with garlands and vessels. Oil lamps stand at both sides, and small brass figures and offerings lie at the base.
