A photograph inside a temple shows a golden deity murti of a seated couple, one figure in an orange-red turban and the other with a tall gold crown, both draped in gold ornaments and sitting on a red cushioned seat above a black stone pedestal. Garlands of yellow and orange flowers with green leaves frame the shrine arch. A person in an orange-red top and orange dhoti stands at left, pouring liquid from a metal vessel over the murti, with water flowing down onto the black base. Brass oil lamps and a small brass vessel sit on the floor in front. This is an abhishekam offering.

Behind him, two gilded deity murtis stand under a golden arch draped with multicoloured marigold garlands; the central figure wears a crown and red-and-green silk, and a ceremonial trident leans beside the basin. A small white statue of a seated figure sits in front of the lingam, and a bronze kalasha rests nearby. The scene reads as abhishekam at a temple shrine.2011-03-03July 21 20102010-07-21A woman in a red blouse and orange saffron sari stands at left, pouring water from a brass kalasha over a golden deity murti seated on a throne. The murti wears a red garment and is draped with garlands of white, red and yellow flowers. Water splashes down onto a yellow-tinted pedestal.
