A temple shrine photograph showing a shirtless priest in a white dhoti pouring liquid over a black linga-shaped stone at the base of a tiered black pedestal. Behind him stand large painted deity murtis with gold crowns, flower garlands in red, yellow and white, and gold ornaments; the central pair are decorated in blue and gold garments, and a dark figure with a turban stands at right. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and a small figurine and offerings sit on the floor. The scene reads as an abhishekam ritual in progress.
