A photograph of a shrine niche with a golden arch framing a yellow backdrop. Central sculptures show a deity murti with a trident and a seated figure before a Shiva lingam wrapped in red and white garlands and rudraksha beads. A standing female statue in a red saree and a small seated figure in red ochre clothing flank the lower arrangement. Tall gold oil lamps stand on either side, and a shiny brass kalasha sits atop the central form. No living people are visible; all figures are statues or murtis.
