Photograph of a Shiva Lingam alankaram in a temple shrine. The black stone lingam is dressed with a gold-and-maroon jeweled necklace, layered rudraksha and beaded garlands, and a golden tripundra mark, set on a gold-yellow cloth with a shaped bronze-toned base. Marigold and red flower garlands frame the lingam. Behind it, a large black stone deity figure wears a yellow and gold sari-style drape within a gilt frame. To the right stands a painted deity murti in purple and green with a crown. Brass oil lamps and a brass kalasha-style vessel sit in the foreground. No people are visible.
