A photograph inside a temple shrine with a corrugated roof. Two shaven-headed priests stand facing a gilded arch housing a deity murti group draped in garlands, with a kalasha-like shivalinga offering in front. The priest on the left wears white dhoti and shawl with maroon borders and stands with hands folded in prayer. The priest on the right wears orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with gold border and holds a lamp, performing aarti. Orange curtains flank the shrine, and small nandi bulls sit atop the structure. Two people are visible.
