A temple shrine photograph showing an ornate deity murti of Shiva and Parvati seated on a golden throne within a gold arched frame, behind a deep red curtain. The central figure wears a red and gold headdress, yellow garment, and layered garlands of yellow and red flowers; a Shiva lingam with tripundra marks and rudraksha-like adornments sits before them on a pedestal. Two standing attendant statues flank the shrine: on the left a figure holding a golden trident, wearing a rudraksha mala and pink-and-green cloth, and on the right a figure with a red turban and leopard-print garment. In the lower right foreground, a person in orange-brown robes with folded hands offers namaskar, and garlands of white and yellow flowers decorate the scene.
