A photograph of a temple shrine with a large deity murti of Shiva and Parvati seated together on a raised platform, garlanded with yellow, red and white flower chains and draped in purple, magenta and green cloth. A dark stone shivalingam sits on a stone peetha in front of them. Two standing men in orange and saffron robes flank the shrine, one on the left in brown-orange wrap and one on the right with a full beard and orange dhoti, while a third man in orange with a turban stands in the lower right near a small seated figure garlanded with white and red flowers. Brass kalasha offerings and marigold garlands rest on the floor in the foreground.
