A photograph of a temple shrine with three statues on a dark stone pedestal, decorated with thick garlands of yellow marigolds and red and white flowers arching above. The central figure is a Shiva-form deity murti with a crown, trident-like emblem and a rudraksha-style necklace, seated beside a consort figure in a green and red sari with a gold crown. Two standing male statues flank them, one holding a trident in a saffron turban and gold necklaces, the other in a brown and red turban and layered beads. A white lingam sits on the pedestal with offerings, and small pink-garlanded figures and a brass oil lamp appear in front. The statues are depictions, not physical people.
