A temple shrine interior photographed from behind a standing priest. The priest wears an orange-red dhoti draped over bare shoulders, with white sacred markings on the back, and holds his hands together in worship. Before him on a yellow-draped altar stand deity murtis: a central Shiva lingam-form figure with a conical crown and striped silver-and-green arch behind it, flanked by two standing deity figures in crowns and jewelled garlands. Brass lamps, a bell-metal plate, flower offerings and a bull statue with pink flowers sit on the altar. Above hangs a fabric canopy with colourful embroidered elephants and tassels, and an ornate chandelier. This is a puja at the shrine, shown as a photograph with no visible a person candidate.

A photograph of a temple shrine in which a priest with bare upper body and orange-red dhoti, with white sacred markings on his back, stands at left performing worship with a lamp before three deity murtis. The central murti wears a tall striped crown, layered silver necklaces and red garments, and is backed by a silver-striped arch. Flanking murtis wear maroon and green-black robes with ornate necklaces and pink flower garlands. Brass oil lamps, a brass plate and a yellow-green cloth-covered table sit in front, and a canopy of colourful fabric with tassels and printed elephants hangs above. No devotee is visible; the only person is the priest.

Two standing murtis are dressed in striped white and grey garments with ornate crowns and garlands; the central figure is adorned with a large necklace. Brass offering vessels and lamps sit on a pink-draped altar, with colourful painted walls and pillars behind. A pink sign on the altar is visible. The scene suggests a puja or neivaidhyam offering before the deities.

A photograph of a temple shrine with three large deity statues against an ornate gold carved backdrop, draped with white and multicoloured flower garlands. The central statue is a deity murti with a black crown bearing a crescent, a blue-and-yellow garment, silver ornaments and a garland. A statue on the left wears a saffron-and-brown turban, and the statue on the right wears a green-and-orange sari with silver jewellery and a crown. A single person stands at left, seen from behind with bare shoulders, a saffron-orange cloth wrapped around the waist, and dark hair in a bun, holding a ritual item toward the central deity. A brass oil lamp and a plate sit on a wooden table in front, with rose petals scattered on purple velvet at the base of the statues.
