Smoky photograph of a temple shrine decorated with white jasmine and pink flower garlands. A priest in a red-maroon dhoti with gold borders and a red turban, bare-shouldered and wearing a white sacred thread garland, holds a lamp with a flame toward the deities. Central deity murti in white and gold garments with silver-decorated crown stands between two other murtis, one dark-skinned with silver jewellery; a gold-draped altar holds a black stone lingam with flowers and a mango leaf at its base. A silver tray is offered from the right by a person whose arm and orange cloth are visible at the edge.
