A photograph inside a shrine where a person in a rust-orange and gold-bordered dhoti and matching orange turban, with a jasmine garland over the shoulder, leans forward to pour liquid over a clear crystal lingam set on a dark stone yoni base wrapped in white jasmine garlands. Behind them stands a gilded deity murti with a jewelled crown, rudraksha-like beaded necklaces and a white-and-gold dhoti, flanked by a second deity figure in red and gold, all decorated with pink, red and white flower garlands and set on a gold satin-draped altar. Petals lie scattered on the floor. At right, a hand holds a silver tray with a small lamp.
