A priest in white dhoti with gold border, bare-chested and marked with white ash, performs abhishekam on a black lingam placed in a silver-rimmed stone basin in front of a deity murti of Shiva and Parvati adorned with red and yellow garlands. Two attendant figures stand on either side, one in red-and-white with a mustache and beard, the other in a brown robe with garlands. Ornate gold and red drapery and painted pillars frame the shrine, with oil lamps and flowers on the floor.
