A photograph of a temple shrine with a painted deity image framed inside a teal and red-gold niche with ornate gold scrollwork pillars. In the foreground, a figure seen from behind wears a rust-red turban and a white flower garland, standing before a wooden pedestal holding a black lingam-like object with a red and white flower garland and white cloth. A brass oil lamp stands at left. The figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm any identity, so a person is set to unsure.
