Two gilded metal deity murti statues stand side by side on a magenta velvet cloth scattered with yellow flower petals. The left figure holds a trident and a bowl and wears a tall crown, multicoloured floral garlands and a jewelled necklace. The right figure has a cobra hood over its crown, a red dhoti and white flower garlands, and holds a staff and a small vessel. A large backdrop photograph behind them shows a figure in a leopard-print garment against warm red and orange tones. The setting suggests a puja display of the murtis.

Three deity murtis are dressed and garlanded for daily puja, seated on a red cloth. The central figure, gold-crowned with a white jasmine garland, wears a gold necklace, pink and gold sari and a red-sari style drape. Two smaller murtis flank her, one in magenta with a white flower crown and pearl necklace, the other in pink with a long black braid. Yellow and red flowers, rose petals and a brass oil lamp with a lit flame sit in front. Behind, a person's arms and a rudraksha-style garland and pearl necklace are partly visible, wearing red and blue clothing.

Photograph of two gilded metal deity murti standing against a dark background. On the right, a tall golden murti with a cobra-hood crown, four arms and a trident held in one hand, wearing a dark brown dhoti. On the left, a golden murti with multiple arms and a trident, partly obscured by a hand holding a yellow cloth and a fabric tassel decoration with blue, green and orange tassels. A small gold figure with a trident sits in a circular golden halo base in front of it. No people are physically present other than a hand at the upper left edge.

Photograph of a shrine with three deity murtis set in an ornate carved arch before a gold-and-red cloth backdrop. The central figure is a standing murti with a tall ornamented crown, a trident-like staff and a multi-armed pose; the two flanking figures are smaller murtis in embellished bejewelled garments and tall crowns. Pink and white flower petals and blossoms decorate the crowns and the arch, and a hand offers a brass plate of petals and a lit oil lamp in front of the murtis. This appears to be a puja or naivedyam offering; the murti forms are not clearly identifiable. No physical people are the focus beyond the offering hand.
