Photograph inside a narrow stone temple passage at a Jyotirlinga shrine. In the foreground, a large reddish-brown wooden or stone shivalinga-like shaft rests on a white marble ledge beside brass and copper ritual items, a small bell, drums, rudraksha-style beads, marigold garlands and a blue cloth. A man in an orange saffron kurta with red trousers and a white shawl stands at a metal railing near the descending steps; a woman with garlands in the upper background also appears in the passage. A red-clothed person in a pink shirt stands beyond a glass partition. The floor shows marigold petals and leaves at a small square yantra-like area. A wall clock and a white fan are at upper left. Text on a red sign reads a Hindi directional instruction.
