Photograph of a shrine room with three ornate golden thrones lined with red velvet curtains, seated with richly dressed deity murtis (statues) in gold and jewelled garments, dark caps, and garlands. Brass lamps, a small kalasha-style vessel, a golden nandi (bull) and offering plates sit on the floor in front. Two people's heads are visible in the lower foreground, seen from behind. The people are partially visible and the central statues are not living persons; the setting suggests a darshan display.

Photograph of a richly decorated indoor shrine with several seated deity murti figures under ornate gilded arches. The central figure wears a tall crown with white and red beadwork, a crescent moon ornament, a heavy pearl and bead necklace, and holds a trident; the flanking figures wear green, orange and red garments with gold-thread borders and heavy gold necklaces. Statues only, no physical people visible. Orange and green drapes and white curtains surround the shrine.

Four seated deity murtis in ornate gold-framed niches inside a bright room with white curtains. The figures wear gold and jewelled ornaments, heavy necklaces, and draped garments in orange, red, green and gold. Tall decorated crowns with white and pink stone work rise above their heads, one holding a trident-like staff. The seated figures rest on orange and pink draped platforms, giving a formal temple-style display of statues rather than living people.

Three life-sized statues or murtis seated side by side on a gold-and-silver draped throne-like dais in front of a shimmering gold curtain. The central figure wears an ornate jewelled crown, a heavy jewelled necklace and a long beaded sash, with a gold-and-orange embellished cloth draped over the seat. The figure to the left wears a red turban and a rudraksha-style bead garment, and the figure to the right wears a tall jewelled headdress and red-and-gold ornaments. Ornate gold carved pillars frame the scene, and a small lamp glows at the lower left.

A photograph of three golden murti statues on an ornate gold-framed altar set against a dark patterned backdrop. The central figure wears a tall golden crown set with red and green stones, a gold necklace and layered beaded garlands, and sits on a leopard-print cloth draped with orange and gold fabric. The figure to the left wears an orange-brown turban, rudraksha mala and jewelled necklaces, seated on leopard print. The figure to the right wears a jewelled crown, a blue and green silk sari, layered gold and pearl necklaces and a rudraksha mala. No physical people are visible; all three figures are statues.

Three ornately dressed figures sit side by side on a yellow and gold draped platform beneath an elaborate gilded arch with carved scrollwork and white drapery. All three appear to be statues or murti with polished, painted faces and hands raised in blessing. The central figure wears a deep red turban with a white Shiva tripundra mark, layered gold garlands, bead necklaces and a purple-and-gold sash. The figure on the left wears a brown turban and brown robe with gold and bead necklaces, and the figure on the right wears a red turban with a gold ornament and a lime-green and red robe with heavy gold chains. The setting is a formal stage or temple-style display.
