Behind it stand golden-yellow statues of deities and a small gold figure with raised hand. A large black statue's feet are visible above. No living people are shown; this is a photo of a temple shrine with a Shivling abhishekam offering.

A photograph of a dark stone Shivalingam on a round stone yoni pedestal, decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses and green leaves. The lingam bears three horizontal white ash stripes and a red dot, and the base is covered with white and brown offering material. Behind it, a large deity murti in purple and red silk garments and gold jewellery is partly visible. A brass vessel stands at left beside a water tap, and stone temple pillars frame the scene at night.

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.
