A black stone murti of a multi-armed deity stands in an outdoor setting with dense green foliage behind it. The figure wears an orange-saffron turban and orange-saffron draped garment with a maroon border, a rudraksha mala, and a red bindi on the forehead. It is adorned with garlands of white flowers, red roses, yellow marigolds and purple blooms. Its raised hands hold a trident-like staff and a drum-like object, while lower hands rest in a blessing gesture and a small object. The murti is framed by ornate silver panels on either side.

A dark stone murti of a deity seated on a rocky base, dressed in an orange-saffron cloth with a maroon-and-orange turban and a white rudraksha-style bead necklace. Garlands of red and white flowers and yellow marigolds hang from its shoulders and arms, and it holds ritual objects in its raised hands. The statue is framed by an ornate silver-coloured arch with carved floral and animal motifs, set outdoors among trees with bare red earth and a small pile of red offerings at its base. No people are shown in the statue's frame.

A black stone statue of a seated figure in an orange and red-striped saffron cloth, draped over the shoulders and lap, with a rudraksha mala hanging across the chest and an orange-and-maroon headband. The figure holds a trident-like staff and a small object in raised hands, sitting on a dark carved pedestal with small relief figures. It stands framed by an ornate silver-toned arch under green banyan-type trees, with a small shrine and oil lamp visible at left. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.

A black stone statue of a four-armed deity figure sits within an ornate silver arch against a backdrop of green trees. The murti wears an orange saffron-coloured shawl draped over its body, an orange head wrap with a red band and a red tilak on the forehead, and a long rudraksha mala. It is decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and purple flowers, with orange marigold petals at its feet. Its hands hold a drum-like instrument and other ritual objects. Stone carvings of figures decorate the pedestal. The statue is a murti rather than a living person, so no physical people are present.
