A photograph of a gilded shrine with an ornate golden arch and gold brocade backdrop. Two large decorated deity murtis sit on a white draped platform: a male figure in a red turban holding a trident, and a female figure with a crown and jewelled necklaces. A golden cobra hood with five heads sits before a rudraksha-garlanded linga draped in orange and green cloth. A small silver-framed deity figure stands in front, with brass oil lamps at the base and a purple-clad person seated at the left edge. Ritual abhishekam or puja decoration is visible; no living a person is clearly identifiable.
