Close-up photograph of a golden Shiva lingam decorated for worship, set on a dark stone surface. The gold-plated lingam is adorned with a jeweled silver-and-gold crown band set with red and green stones, draped with thick yellow marigold garlands and scattered petals, and a jeweled sash runs diagonally across the base. A small rudraksha bead lies on the stone at left. No people are visible; the background is a blurred brown stone structure.

An outdoor shrine to a Shiva lingam set on a flat stone platform among dry earth and stones. The black lingam is dressed with a purple cloth wrapped around its top, a rose pinned on it, a string of white pearls and a rudraksha-style mala draped over it, and a pink cloth beneath. A long garland of red roses and yellow marigolds with green leaves encircles the platform, and scattered red and pink rose petals lie on the stone. Beside it stands a tall blue-draped pillar hung with brown rudraksha beads and a white pearl strand. No people are visible.

A photograph of a Shiva lingam draped in orange cloth and strung with rudraksha-style beads, with a tall orange turban-shaped cloth wrapped around its top and a dark peak. The base is ringed with yellow marigold garlands and red rose garlands on a stone platform, with a blurred red wall and green trees behind. No people are visible; the figure shown is a deity murti, not a person.

A photograph of a golden Shivalinga, the upright cylindrical form of Shiva, set on a golden yoni pedestal on a dark stone slab. Yellow marigold garlands drape the lingam and base, with a white and red beaded ornamental band across the top and a second beaded collar around the pedestal. Small purple flowers are tucked near the top, and scattered petals lie on the stone. A red-cushioned object appears at the bottom edge, and a reddish blurred wall stands behind. No people are visible.

Yellow marigold petals and green leaves are scattered over the cloth and ground, and a rudraksha mala with silver-capped beads is draped across the base. A smaller lingam wrapped in red cloth and tied with a yellow cord sits in the foreground. No people are visible; the scene is a ritual puja setting.

A photograph of an outdoor shrine featuring a dark stone Shiva lingam draped with a magenta cloth and a purple turban-like covering decorated with a string of white pearls and a red flower on top. Rudraksha malas and a silver-and-gold ornamental necklace adorn the lingam, with a red tilak mark on its face, and a yellow-and-orange flower sits at its base. The lingam rests on a flat stone platform surrounded by pink rose petals and yellow marigold garlands on the ground. No people are visible; the scene shows a deity murti being honoured with floral offerings and ornaments.
