A decorated black stone Shiva lingam stands at the centre of a temple shrine, draped with white and yellow flower garlands and a purple and gold cloth. Behind it, golden figures of standing devotees with hands folded flank a seated golden deity murti in an orange garment and layered necklaces. A small ornate golden figure sits at the lower right, and a red and gold cushion rests on a pedestal at left. On the right, a dressed murti is adorned with red and pink flower garlands. Brass lamps and scattered rose petals lie on the wooden tray in front, and a red curtain hangs behind the altar.

A decorated temple shrine set against draped orange-red curtains and a garland-strung canopy. Three black stone murti stand in the centre: a large Shiva lingam wrapped in white cloth with a silver tripundra-style marking, draped in white and red flower garlands and a dark bead-and-rudraksha necklace, with a hanging bead canopy above. To the left a standing deity murti in yellow and blue robes holds a trident beside it, and to the right a female murti in a blue and teal sari with a flowered headdress. A small nandi-like figure with gold eyewear sits in front, flanked by ornate gold-and-leopard-print seats and brass lamps, with flowers and offerings on the floor. No people are visible.

A photograph inside a temple shrine dressed with flowers. On the left, a priest in a white head cloth and glasses, wearing a reddish-orange shawl, stands at the edge of the frame making a ritual gesture over an offering. Centre stage is a black Shiva lingam with a silver tripundra mark, draped with a heavy gold necklace, red and yellow marigold garlands and a white floral garland. Beside it, a smaller metal deity murti in a red crown and bright garland stands on a gold pedestal, and a goddess murti in a green sari with a red and orange border is adorned with white flower garlands. Vases of white flowers and a small brass cup sit on the gold platforms, with a dark curtain behind.

A photograph of a shrine to a Shiva lingam in a temple setting. The black lingam with a horizontal three-line tripundra marking is draped in white, green and orange cloth with gold-bordered sashes and a green-and-gold turban-like wrap, and adorned with a gold necklace and garland. Two gilded standing figures flank the shrine: a figure in red and gold robes on the left and a figure in a teal and blue sari with gold jewellery on the right, with a red-and-white deity image and gold-framed niche behind. A dragon fruit offering sits on a brass plate in front, and a gold-framed backdrop with red drapes surrounds the scene. No people are visible.
