A photograph of a ceremonial offering arranged in a woven wicker basket on a striped cloth in red, purple and orange. At its centre is a golden domed, shrine-like object wrapped in strands of brown rudraksha beads and gold chains, with a round gold-and-enamel pendant and a bright ornamented band across the front. Around the basket are white sweets or cakes in a smaller basket, gold cups and a small gold lamp stand, folded red and green silk cloths, and brass bowls in front. No people are visible; the scene is a ritual display of a deity murti or sacred object. Caption text at the bottom reads Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Devalayam, Adi KAILASA, Mandagapadi.
