A photograph of a temple shrine with a large gilded arch framing two painted deity statues, a male figure in an orange turban and a female figure in a pink and magenta sari, both draped in garlands of yellow and orange flowers. In front stands a dark stone shivalinga on a round black stone pitha. Three women in white and cream saris stand near the shrine; the foremost, in a cream sari with orange border, holds a small silver vessel and performs abhishekam, pouring liquid over the linga. Brass oil lamps, flower arrangements and blue drapes frame the scene, with a small seated figure in red at the right edge.
