A photograph of a decorated Shiva Lingam on a yellow silk cloth in a temple shrine. The lingam is dressed with a green silk cloth, a silver face-mask ornament, a gold and jewelled breastplate, and a thick garland of brown rudraksha beads with marigold and red flower strands. A copper-coloured yoni-peetha tray with a brass pouring spout holds the lingam. Brass oil lamps stand at left and a silver bowl of flower petals sits beside them. To the right, a silk sari with gold border drapes over a figure with a crown and pink garment. No people are visible.
