A small yellow and green niche shrine in Varanasi holds a Shiva lingam on a stone base, draped with white cloth edged in red and gold, garlanded with white flowers and a rudraksha mala. Behind it a printed portrait, labelled with no visible caption, shows a smiling bearded man with a white forehead mark, cream-coloured garment, gold necklaces and a rudraksha mala, seated in meditation with one hand raised in blessing. A clay pot hangs above the lingam on a pink cord. A checkered marble floor lies below, with a timestamp reading May 3, 2022 11:05:56 AM and location text in the corner.
