A temple priest in white dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala and shaved head, pours white granular offering onto a black shivalinga in a stone temple sanctum. Behind him stands a large golden-framed arch with teal drapery framing a pair of colourful deity murti figures: a male figure with an orange turban and orange garments, and a female figure in red and yellow with a red flower in her hair and a tall crown. The murtis sit on a purple and green pedestal. Abhishekam with white offerings is taking place; a few white heaps lie on the floor around the linga.
