Photograph of a richly decorated golden Shiva lingam-form murti at the centre of a shrine, dressed with long multicoloured flower garlands in yellow, white, magenta and purple that drape down both sides. Layered silver bead and coin necklaces hang across its base, and a purple-and-white flower garland covers the central section. The top bears a golden crown-like headpiece with green leaves and tassels. In front are brass oil lamps and a small offering bundle wrapped in orange cloth. Behind, a golden deity figure and a seated person in magenta clothing appear partly visible at the edges. Scattered petals lie on the floor.
