Close-up photograph of a gold-coloured Shiva lingam set on a square gold base within a temple shrine. The lingam is shaped as a conical pillar with a tiered, ornate crown and a band of beaded or pearl-like detail around its base. Behind it are red and maroon draped cloths and a soft-focus background of ritual objects. No people are visible; the image shows the deity murti being worshipped during shrine rituals such as abhishekam and puja.
