A close photo of a shiva linga on a black stone yoni-peetha base in a shrine niche framed by an ornate gold arch with floral and lion motifs and an orange-red cloth backdrop. A bare arm with white sacred markings and a beaded bracelet holds a small oil lamp with a flame near the linga, which is decorated with a white flower and green leaves. Milk or white liquid flows over the base. A copper vessel sits at the left edge against a grey marble wall, consistent with an abhishekam and aarti offering.
