A photograph of a temple shrine decorated with multicoloured marigold and flower garlands in yellow, red, orange and purple. Central deity murti figures of a seated Shiva and Parvati sit on a raised altar with a large Shiva lingam in front, surrounded by flower garlands and a golden arch. Standing murti figures flank the shrine: one in a crown and yellow-green garlands and one in a red-brown dress with a rudraksha-style mala. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, with purple cloth draped at the base and a red curtain to the right. At the lower left a bare-backed priest in orange and white cloth performs the ritual, and a red-robed figure is partly visible at the bottom left edge.
