A decorated Shiva lingam stands in a temple shrine, dressed with a large orange and gold silk cloth behind it, garlands of marigolds and white flowers, and layered gold and jewelled ornaments with a face-like silver adornment and rudraksha mala. A small brass pancha-type lamp with a lit flame sits in front, with a brass kalasha-style vessel, brass lamp stands, a brass pot and rose petals on a tray. A small figure in a maroon and gold sari stands at the right side. No people are visible; this is a photograph of a deity murti during Karthikai Deepam observance.
