A photograph of a decorated temple shrine showing a Shiva-Parvati style deity pair seated on a green-draped platform beneath a gold arched frame. The male deity wears a red-and-orange crown and a trident, with a red and white garland; the female deity wears a pink and magenta skirt and a red shawl. In front stands a black lingam on a stone yoni pedestal. Vines, white and purple flowers, and yellow-and-red marigold garlands drape the arch. A standing priest in an orange robe with a shaved head offers attention at the left, and a brass oil lamp stands at right beside a small red-clad figure. Festival context is not visually confirmed.
