A photograph of a decorated deity murti seated on a golden throne-like shrine (peetha) framed by an ornate gold arch. The central figure wears a tall red and gold crown, layered gold and pearl necklaces, and a red garment, and holds a trident-like staff and a small instrument in its hands. Dense garlands of red roses, yellow and pink flowers and green leaves drape the shrine, with green cloth behind and smaller attendant figures flanking the central murti. Yellow text along the bottom reads Bhikshatanamurthy Deeparadhana and Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Brahmotsavam - Day 8, indicating a temple event.

A golden standing deity murti with hands folded in namaskara stands within an arch of fresh flowers in red, pink, yellow, white and green. Green parrot figures with red and multicolored pom-poms perch on the gilded arch above. Behind is a blue backdrop and red curtains. A golden crown and ornate necklaces adorn the murti. Caption text at the bottom reads Bhikshatanamurthy Deeparadhana, Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Brahmotsavam - Day 8. No people are visible.

A dark stone deity murti of a multi-armed form stands against a bright orange-red draped backdrop within a gilded, carved archway. The figure wears a red and gold silk garment, a tilak mark on the forehead, and a heavy garland of yellow, white and pink flowers across its chest. Its hands hold ritual objects and gesture in abhaya-type poses, indicating a temple worship setting with floral decoration for the Brahmotsavam festival.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange turban with a vertical forehead mark and an orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with carved floral backrest. Long garlands of white and pink flowers hang over both shoulders, and multiple rudraksha malas and beaded necklaces with a gold pendant rest on the chest. Red velvet cushions and flower garlands lie at the base of the throne, with brass or wooden paduka sandals visible below. A translucent caption overlay reads Bhikshatanamurthy Deeparadhana and Nithyanandeshwara Paramashiva Brahmotsavam - Day 8. The figure is a probable depiction of Swamiji, identified by the saffron turban, rudraksha malas, ceremonial gold pendant and garlanded throne presentation, shown as a photograph on screen.

A graphic schedule poster for Kailasa LA Nithyanandeshwara Hindu Temple dated Nov. 17th, 2021, with a red-brown background and gold sparkles. Two circular photos frame the title: on the left, a figure in ornate gold ceremonial attire seated on a throne, shown with raised hands; on the right, deity murtis richly adorned with flower garlands in a temple shrine. A parchment scroll in the centre lists daily temple rituals and online sessions. Social icons for YouTube and Facebook appear at the bottom.

Photograph of a temple shrine with three deity murtis, each crowned and adorned with garlands. The central figure wears a golden dhoti and a multi-strand garland, while the figures on either side wear orange-and-green and red-and-white garments with floral garlands. At the lower left, a priest with a bare chest and white dhoti, wearing a rudraksha-style necklace, stands beside a brass lamp. A glass case sits in the foreground, and the ornate golden arched backdrop frames the shrine.

Indoor temple scene with a gold ornate backdrop draped with white and yellow flower garlands. Three seated deity murti stand in a row, dressed in colourful silk garments with gold necklaces and crowns. A bare-chested priest in orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a rudraksha mala and a face covering, stands at right holding a small brass vessel during puja beside a side altar with a kalasha-like offering. The setting suggests a ritual worship, possibly abhishekam or puja, with petals scattered on the table. No clearly identifiable living a person is visible, and the priest's appearance is too uncertain to attribute to him.

In the foreground a bare-chested priest in white dhoti holds a lit lamp before a shiva lingam decorated with flower garlands and a cloth. Brass oil lamps sit on the ledge.

Close view of a golden Shiva lingam in a yoni-shaped base, shown as a sculpted murti on a square metal pedestal. Water flows steadily from above over the lingam, beading on its surfaces and running down into the channel of the base. The stone-like surface has star-shaped ridged patterns and a rounded lower tier, with glistening droplets on the metal. No people are visible. This appears to be an abhishekam ritual being performed on the deity murti.

A decorated temple altar with a black stone deity murti of Shiva seated with Parvati, Shiva wearing a crown, rudraksha and gold ornaments, holding a trident, and Parvati in a pink sari with a silver crown. Purple silk drapes and gold-bordered cloth frame the scene. In front, a large silver-and-gold adorned linga covered with garlands of orange and white flowers and layered bead necklaces. Brass oil lamps and vessels sit at the base, and a small figure in a yellow-green sari stands at the right edge. No people are physically present in the scene apart from that small figure.

Close view of a dark polished stone Shivalinga resting on a carved black yoni-peetha base with white-highlighted scrollwork, with water streaming over the lingam and pooling on the platform, as in an abhishekam. A grey tiled wall stands behind, and a blurred hand and red fabric appear at the top edge. No people are shown in the frame.

Close view of a dark cylindrical Shiva lingam on a round peetha base, coated with yellowish-green liquid running down its surface and pooling on the basin. A stream of the same liquid pours from the top edge of the frame, and a grey tiled wall stands behind. No people are visible in the frame, only the lingam and its basin.

A photograph of a golden-yellow temple structure with ornate tiered roofline, carved niches holding small deity murtis, and a tall kalasha-topped flagstaff rising from the roof. Two golden lion sculptures flank the red-stepped entrance stairs. A large printed portrait on the wall at the base of the stairs shows a smiling man with a bright orange-red turban and orange clothing, against a pale background; the portrait is a depiction, not a physical person. Lush palm trees and green shrubs surround the shrine under a blue sky with clouds. No physical people are visible.

A woman in an orange-red sari with long braided hair stands at a gold-framed shrine, waving a flame lamp and holding a small bell in her other hand before a Shiva lingam. The lingam is draped in a red and gold garment, adorned with white flower garlands, a gold necklace and a red bead-embellished cloth, with green leaves at its base. Lit oil lamps sit on a pink cloth and brass plates, flanked by potted palm fronds. A golden kalasha hangs above the shrine arch.

One tile shows a small figurine-like statue with hands joined. Most participants are only partially visible in their boxes; the tiles are screens, not physical people in the room.

A bearded man with dark hair swept up under a gold crown-like ornament sits cross-legged on a richly carved gold throne, smiling and raising one hand in a blessing gesture. He is bare-chested, wearing layered rudraksha-style red and gold beaded malas, a large gold pendant, gold belt and armbands, and rust-orange dhoti-style lower garments. Golden deity murti flank him: a four-armed figure on the left and a veena-playing goddess on the right, with golden peetha-style lamp stands topped with sun and crescent-moon discs and a brass pedestal dish in front. The background is black. The photo is watermarked with a copyright notice in the corner.

A shaved-headed man with a bare chest and white dhoti, wearing a face mask, stands with hands folded in prayer at the left edge, facing a black stone deity murti standing in a gilded arched niche. The murti wears a red and green silk garment with gold border, a crown, jewelled necklaces and a long white flower garland, and holds a staff-like object in one hand. In front, a dark stone altar holds a brass plate of offerings, a bowl of fruit including bananas and grapes, a brass vessel, a marigold and petal plate, roses in a vase, and a lit oil lamp. A brass oil lamp stands on the floor at the lower right. No a person candidate is visible.

A young boy with short dark hair, bare-chested and wearing an orange sacred cloth draped over his shoulder and an orange dhoti, stands at right holding a silver bell in one hand and a small silver dish of offerings in the other, facing a shrine. Three dark stone deity murtis stand on a black pedestal before red and orange draped backdrops: the central murti wears a tall gold crown, a white flower garland, and a bejewelled breastplate; the flanking figures wear yellow and purple silk saris with gold borders and flower garlands. Orange and blue flower arrangements and peacock feathers decorate the base. This appears to be a puja performed before the murtis.
