Photograph of a temple shrine niche lined with gold-painted walls and a dark red curtain at left. Inside the niche stands a Shiva linga draped in a red and white cloth, with a crown-like silver face, marigold garlands and flowers, and a golden arched backdrop. A framed printed portrait stands at right, garlanded with marigold and rose petals, showing a man in saffron dhoti and sash holding a trident; the picture is labelled by its print, not readable here. Brass oil lamps burn at the base, and a trident stands at the shrine's side. No people are physically present in the scene.
