A photograph of a gold-ornamented shrine with large statues of a deity pair, a male figure crowned with a tall ornate headdress and a female figure in a red and green sari with jewelled necklaces, standing above a black shivalinga-style pedestal being bathed. Two living people are at the lower left and centre: a bearded man in saffron robes with palms joined, and a woman in an orange cloth and leopard-print top pouring liquid from a vessel onto the lingam. Flanking statues wear red turbans, marigold garlands and hold a kalasha. Lion figures sit at the base beside floral offerings.
