Photograph of a shrine interior with yellow-washed walls and a black-and-white checkered marble floor. A carved golden arch framed by a makara-style crest surrounds a red brocade backdrop. At center sits a dark stone Shiva linga draped in red cloth, wrapped with an orange cloth and garlanded with white flowers and a gold bead mala. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a conch shell sits at the base. A green wooden door is visible at right. No people are present. The image carries a date and location stamp reading 2 Jul 2022, Lahori Tola, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh.
