A photograph of a temple shrine decorated with long garlands of yellow marigolds and purple, red and white flowers. Central is a large golden deity murti, flanked by two smaller figures in orange garments. To the left stands a smiling man in a maroon dhoti and an elaborate headdress, wearing layered gold necklaces, a red flower garland and a raised hand in greeting. On the right, a figure in a red and white garland stands in a niche with a green backdrop. Yellow petals are scattered on the floor, and the setting suggests a rudrabhishekam ritual.
