A photo inside a marble-walled shrine where a black stone Shiva lingam sits on a dark circular yoni pedestal, decorated with pink and yellow flower garlands and marigold strands. A man in orange robes with long swept-back dark hair stands at the lingam, hands extended toward it; the appearance is consistent with a person, identified by long dark hair and saffron-orange clothing, and his role is performing a lingam abhishekam-style offering. Two other monks in orange robes stand beside him, one bald, while a man in a grey shirt raises his hands in namaste near the carved wooden door on the left. A white-clad elderly man stands on the right near the doorway. A silver Om-shaped hanging ornament and a small brass pot sit by the lingam, with devotional Sanskrit inscriptions on the marble walls and a small shrine with deity figures in the background. Five people are visible.
