A shrine inside a stone-pillared temple hall shows a seated deity murti pair beneath a gilded arch against red drapes. The central pair wear orange and red garments with gold ornaments, and the figure on the left holds a trident. Red and yellow marigold garlands drape the murtis and a seated sculpted figure in white and green stands in front. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides beside small offering pots and a standing green-robed figure in an alcove with a blue backdrop. No people are visible in the scene.

Central sculptures show a deity murti with a trident and a seated figure before a Shiva lingam wrapped in red and white garlands and rudraksha beads. A standing female statue in a red saree and a small seated figure in red ochre clothing flank the lower arrangement. Tall gold oil lamps stand on either side, and a shiny brass kalasha sits atop the central form. No living people are visible; all figures are statues or murtis.

Shrine photograph of a golden-framed temple niche draped in red cloth, holding a central pair of seated statues: a male deity figure with an orange-red turban and ornate necklaces, and a female figure in gold and orange with a tall crown and garlands. Between them sits a blue-draped seated figure adorned with a crown-like headpiece and beads, placed on a blue cloth altar with red and white flower garlands. Flanking the niche are tall brass oil lamps, and to the right stands a blue-robed standing statue with a blue turban and beaded necklace. The image shows deity murti and statues only, with no living people visible.

A photograph of a temple shrine with a large deity murti of Shiva and Parvati seated together on a throne-like seat within a gilded arched niche. The left figure has a red turban-like crown, holds a trident, and wears a rudraksha mala; the right figure wears a gold crown and necklaces. Both are draped in yellow and red cloth and garlanded with marigold and white flower garlands. A smaller statue in a green-curtained niche to the right wears a red garment and gold necklace. Brass oil lamps stand at the base, with an orange cloth and a flower-decorated linga-like seat in front, and carved stone pillars frame the scene. No physical people are visible.

A photograph of two large deity murtis, one male and one female, standing side by side in an ornate stone temple shrine framed by a gold arch and dark blue drapes. The figure on the left has four arms, a crown with red and white striped cloth, and holds a trident and drum-like object; the figure on the right wears a tall crown and a blue and gold garment. Both are adorned with white and red garlands and beaded necklaces. In front stand brass oil lamps, a decorated silver-toned altar, and a small shrine with a red-draped figure at right. The setting suggests a Navaratri festival shrine.

A photograph of an ornate stone shrine with carved pillars and a gold-framed arch. Inside stands a large deity murti of a male and female figure in gold-coloured dress with red and orange cloth, garlanded with multicoloured flower strings. The male figure holds a drum-like object and the female figure holds a flower-garlanded hand. Brass oil lamps on tall stands line both sides. In front, a gold-ornamented throne with a small white-clad figure seated before it, wearing a red and orange turban, appears in the lower foreground. No clearly visible living person is distinct from the murti and the figure at the base, so the count reflects only the seated figure.

A shrine niche with a golden arched frame and red backdrop holds a central deity murti with four arms, a crown, a trident and a serpent, wearing a silver necklace and garlands. Flanking figures in pale and red-green dress stand on either side, and a figure in a black blouse with red garland stands at the right. Brass oil lamps stand in front, with small golden palanquin-like stands and a kalasha-style offering in the foreground. Orange and pink draped cloth hangs at the right edge. No physical people are present; all figures are statues or murtis.
