A photograph inside a temple shrine with carved stone pillars and an orange curtain at right. Central deity murti pair, Shiva and a goddess, stand behind a black lingam-shaped base draped with white cloth and flowers, framed by a yellow and red garland arch. Flanking statues in ornate robes and garlands stand on golden bases. A man in orange dhoti and a saffron-toned shawl stands at left with hands clasped. A man in a leopard-print top and brown dhoti bends forward at the base, apparently performing abhishekam or offering. Two more devotees kneel at lower left with clasped hands. Yellow and pink marigold garlands decorate the platform. Watermarked archive photo of Nithyananda Paramashivam
