A photograph inside a richly decorated temple shrine. A bare-chested priest in orange cloth with a saffron shawl and a headband stands at the centre, his hand resting on a golden arch over a lingam with a white tripundra marking. Behind him, gilded deity murtis with crowns and jewelled necklaces stand under ornate mirror-work arches. Flanking figures wear red turbans, pink and maroon garments and heavy jewelled necklaces. The figures are statues, not living people, and the priest is a devotee performing abhishekam or puja at the sanctum.
