A temple abhishekam at a gilded shrine. A man in a maroon striped shirt and white dhoti stands at a dark stone shivalingam set on a black stone yoni pitham, pouring water over it with his right hand. Behind him, a shaved-headed man in white robes with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala stands with hands folded. The shrine holds gold-faced deity murtis draped in orange cloth, one with a trident and crown, with garlands and a red-and-gold ensemble. A small golden shri yantra sits on a wooden stand, and a figure wrapped in a pink towel with a green cap sits near the base.
