A photograph of a Shiva-Parvati style deity murti in an ornate gilded arch with orange shimmering drapery. The seated figures wear jewelled crowns, gem-studded necklaces, a red turban and trident-bearing hand, with a blue and white cloth beneath. In front, a large silver shivalinga draped with an orange and green cloth and rudraksha beads stands on a white satin base. A shaven-headed priest in orange robes sits at lower left, bowed in worship, beside brass kalasha pots, oil lamps, a conch-shaped vessel and a plate of flowers and leaves. Looks like a puja or abhishekam.
