A photograph of a temple sanctum showing a central deity murti of Shiva seated on a golden throne-like seat with a crescent moon on a crown, flanked by a female murti in gold and purple sari with a tall decorated crown, and standing figures on either side, one in a red turban and one in a red headcloth with a rudraksha-style necklace. The figures are decorated with densely layered garlands of marigolds and roses in red, yellow, purple and white, and an ornate golden arch frames the scene. In front lies a shivalinga adorned with garlands and a silver-trimmed base, with an oil lamp at the right edge. No living people are visible; all figures are statues.
