A photograph of a shrine niche in a stone temple hall, adorned with garlands of yellow, red and purple flowers. In the centre stands a Shiva-linga style form marked with horizontal white and red lines beneath a golden arch, flanked by deity murtis in crowns and jewellery. A standing male figure in a red-and-maroon turban and maroon dress holds a brass vessel with both hands, and a white-bearded figure in red turban and maroon robes stands at the right, both appearing to be statues rather than living people. Brass oil lamps with flames stand at the sides, and a red curtain hangs at the right edge.
