A photograph of an outdoor shrine decorated with orange and white drapes and garlanded with marigold-and-white flower strings. Two large golden-brown statues stand behind a central Shiva-linga altar draped in flowers; the statue on the left wears an orange turban and holds a damaru-like instrument, and the statue on the right wears an orange garment and a tall dark cap. In the foreground, two seated figures in saffron-orange robes with orange head wraps sit before the altar, one with hands raised in blessing. Oil lamps and brass vessels stand at the base, and green trees frame the open-air setting.
