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.

Interior of a temple shrine decorated for Mahashivaratri abhishekam and alankaram. Marigold garlands and bright flower strands hang around golden pillars and a gilded arch. Several deity murtis sit on the altar: a dark stone Shiva linga-form figure with a rudraksha-style mala in the foreground, a dark murti with an orange and green garland at left, and a central deity murti with flower garlands and a crown-like headdress. Fruit, banana leaves, brass vessels, a kalasha-style pot, oil lamps and a lit diya lie on the altar, and a brass lamp stands on the right. No people are visible.

Interior shrine of a temple with gold-carved pillars on both sides. At the back, a dark-faced standing murti of a deity with a red and gold turban and a red-and-green garment, beside a smaller dark murti of a goddess in green and red silk saris with floral garlands. In front, a black lingam draped in red and orange cloth with a silver face and a white decorative shawl. Brass plates with a kalasha pot, a small oil lamp with a lit flame, and a silver stand lamp sit on the floor. No people visible.

Inside a temple shrine with gold-framed arch and gold walls, deity murti are decorated with garlands of white, red and green flowers. Centre front, a large golden kalasha-shaped vessel wrapped in rudraksha beads and a garland sits on a white cloth, marked with a horizontal tilak or lingam-form emblem, as in an abhishekam setting. Behind it, a seated figure in a purple and gold robe and crown is a statue or murti, not a living person. Upper back, two dark-faced deity murti in orange and gold, one with a crown and crescent, sit on a raised platform. On the right, a standing deity murti in yellow and orange silk with a tall crown and garland holds a position beside an offering tray with brass lamps. No physical people are visible.

A photograph of a temple shrine showing a black stone murti of a seated deity couple, one figure wearing a tall silver crown and holding a trident, the other wearing a gold crown and red-pink silk sari-like dress, both draped in heavy silver and gold necklaces and red marigold garlands. Behind them stands a framed portrait on the wall above, and two decorated pillars with colourful painted panels frame the shrine. In front, a large elaborate fruit arrangement forms a shiva-linga-shaped display in layered rings of bananas, oranges, apples, grapes, carrots and peppers, surrounded by fresh vegetables, pineapple, coconut and brass lamps. The scene suggests a deity murti decorated with a fruit offering.
