A photograph of a temple shrine with a large deity murti in front of a red curtain, flanked by two figures with crowns and gold ornaments; the central figure holds a trident and a staff, and a tall golden shivalingam with a garland stands in front. Yellow and purple garlands hang from the murtis. Tall brass oil lamps with bird-shaped tops line the shrine, and a few devotees in the foreground watch from below. A small orange-robed figure, seated near the lingam, may be a small statue or a seated person, and their identity is uncertain. A red carved gold arch frames the shrine.
