Close view of a silver-plated shrine on a festival palanquin or ratha, lit by pink and white string lights. A silver Nandi bull with jewelled ornaments sits beneath an ornate arched canopy, facing a Shiva lingam on a silver peetha. The lingam and Nandi are garlanded with yellow marigolds and red flowers. A thin water or abhishekam line falls onto the lingam. No physical people are visible; the scene shows a deity murti and shrine decoration.
