Inside a small temple shrine with blue-painted pillars and a corrugated roof, a bearded older priest in a red-orange dhoti and shawl, with a rudraksha mala, gestures with an open hand toward a black shivalingam draped in a red cloth and garlanded with white flowers. Beside him stands a younger man in a red-orange wrap with a gold necklace, his hands joined in a respectful gesture. Yellow printed notices hang on the blue wall behind them, and a brass pot sits nearby.
