A temple shrine interior photographed from behind a standing priest. The priest wears an orange-red dhoti draped over bare shoulders, with white sacred markings on the back, and holds his hands together in worship. Before him on a yellow-draped altar stand deity murtis: a central Shiva lingam-form figure with a conical crown and striped silver-and-green arch behind it, flanked by two standing deity figures in crowns and jewelled garlands. Brass lamps, a bell-metal plate, flower offerings and a bull statue with pink flowers sit on the altar. Above hangs a fabric canopy with colourful embroidered elephants and tassels, and an ornate chandelier. This is a puja at the shrine, shown as a photograph with no visible a person candidate.
