A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a seated man in orange-saffron robes with a multi-coloured garland of white, yellow, purple and pink flowers draped over his shoulders. He sits on a zebra-striped cushioned seat in front of a large gilded arch framing a golden murti of a deity couple: the male figure holds a trident and is crowned, the female figure wears a tall crown and jewelled necklaces, and a golden shivalinga stands in front with garlands on it. Brass oil lamps and green coconuts flank the arch. The seated man has a short-haired head with a vertical marking, shown smiling with eyes lowered. Background walls are carved stone.
