Home shrine photographed as a photo of a small puja altar against a bright yellow wall. A large printed portrait of a seated figure in red robes and layered pearl and gold necklaces stands behind three gilded metal murtis, a tall central one in a green and gold crown with red and blue details. A bare arm with gold bangles reaches in from the right and touches the altar with a flower. Blue flowers are scattered across the white tiled shelf. A framed picture of a deity with trident and goat sits on the lower tile step, beside a brass oil lamp, a brass kalasha, a plate of flatbread, a metal bowl, and a bowl of red powder. Only a partial arm is visible, so no complete person is shown.

A photograph of a home shrine altar with a yellow backdrop. A bare-shouldered man in the left foreground leans over the altar to make offerings. Centre back is a large cut-out or printed image of a seated figure with a red and gold turban, multiple gold and bead necklaces, a gold pendant, and red-orange robes, hands in a blessing gesture; the page does not establish that this depiction is a person, so no identity is asserted. Before it stand small statues: a Shiva-form figure with trident, a goddess in yellow sari, a gold-toned Ganesha relief at left, a golden Lakshmi-type figure at right, and a framed deity image in the lower left. Brass bowls hold offerings, a lit oil lamp, a brass pedestal lamp, a plate of flower petals, incense sticks, and a red-lidded jar, with a marigold garland hanging at the right edge.

A photograph of a home shrine during an arati ritual. Three brass or bronze murtis stand on a tray: a small standing figure on the left, a four-armed deity murti in the centre with raised hands and a crown, and a white-draped standing figure on the right, each showing white ash or abhishekam residue. Red flower petals lie at their bases and rudraksha beads are spread on a purple cloth behind them. A hand holds a burning oil lamp at lower left, and a golden Om symbol and a large pink garland appear in the background. No people are visible beyond the hand.

A photograph inside a temple shrine with orange walls and a blue backdrop. A bare arm with a bangle, sleeve edge visible at the left, reaches toward a small brass lamp lit with a flame on a white cloth-covered altar. Three brass deity figures stand on a tray in the foreground: a small nude boy figure at left, a four-armed figure holding objects at centre, and a figure in a green sari at right. Behind them, a larger white-clad deity with a crown and a figure in white and purple with a black-and-white headdress flank a shrine covered in red and orange marigold garlands. A framed portrait at left shows a smiling person in a red turban and saffron-and-orange shawl, with a rudraksha-style garland, but this is a printed image rather than a physical person. A timestamp reads 05 April 2025 9:39 am.

Abhishekam offering on a white marble tray before three bronze-toned statues. In the centre stands a four-armed Shiva murti with a tall crown and raised hands; to the left stands a smaller male figure with a bare torso and folded palms, and to the right a female figure in a flowing yellow garment holding a white flower. In front lies a black Shiva linga wet from abhishekam, decorated with yellow and pink marigold-type flowers. Behind them are garlands of yellow and magenta flowers, a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, brass vessels, and a printed backdrop showing a person's hand and garland. No living people are visible.
