Photograph of a shrine dressed with dense garlands of red, yellow, purple, pink and white flowers around a pair of large gold-faced deity murti seated together on a throne, one with a crown and trident-like emblem. In front, a woman in an orange-brown sari with a gold waistband stands at left, arms extended over a central Shiva lingam-like form draped in flower garlands, holding up a lamp or offering; a small figure in pink-red cloth sits at the base. A shaved-headed priest in orange appears at the far left edge with a tray. Ornate stone pillars frame the altar, and a brass oil lamp and a green banana leaf sit in the foreground.
