A temple photo showing a black stone Shiva lingam on a dark square pedestal, wrapped in a thick white towel. A hand in a white sleeve tucks a folded white towel over the top of the lingam. In the foreground, a copper tray holds a brass star-shaped object and a small folded white towel. The lower edge shows the edge of a purple silk sari with gold border and woven gold pattern. The background has purple draped cloth with an orange-gold trim along the wall. No people are fully visible beyond the hand and the sari edge, and no one resembling a person is shown, so the a person field is none.
