A photograph of a gilded shrine arrangement with two large golden deity murtis seated on a red-draped platform under an ornate gold arch. The figure on the left has four arms, holds a trident and a hand gesture, wears a red and gold crown, a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments; the figure on the right wears a black and gold crown and jewelled necklaces. Both are garlanded with white jasmine and marigold malas. In front sits a silver-gold shivalinga-style form with a tall ridged top and rudraksha beads, flanked by garlands. Below, a small white figure in a blue turban and blue draped robe with gold necklace sits with one hand raised, and a hand is visible at the lower left edge.

Two metal murti figures of a deity couple sit on a gold throne against a golden curtain with an ornate gilded arch. The male figure wears an orange-red turban, a jewelled crown and an embellished gold chest ornament, and holds a sceptre-like object. The female figure wears a jewelled crown, layered gold necklaces and a red-gold sari, and holds a parrot. Both are garlanded with red and yellow flowers and green leaves. In front, a Shiva lingam with a cobra hood above it, wrapped in an orange cloth, rudraksha beads and flower garlands, is set in a gold base. The setting suggests a temple shrine.

The two figures wear jeweled crowns, layered silver necklaces and bangles; one holds a trident, the other a lotus-like emblem. Between them stands a polished golden shivalinga-style vessel draped with yellow and red marigold garlands and green leaves. Below, a small white statue of a seated saint in saffron robes, white garland and red turban, hand raised in blessing, sits at the base of the platform. Several yellow and red garlands hang from the platform, and the scene reads as a temple altar display.

The figures wear gold jewellery, jewelled necklaces and crowns, and the male figure holds a trident. A large golden lingam-shaped form stands at the centre, draped with yellow and magenta flower garlands. Below, a small white marble figure in a blue robe with a rudraksha mala sits with hands folded, next to brass oil lamps on a gold-plated base. Shoes and a book appear at the lower edge.

A golden arched shrine frames two decorated deity murtis seated on a red-draped backdrop. The figure on the left wears a red-orange turban and a silver-jewelled necklace and holds a trident; the figure on the right wears a white garment, silver jewellery and holds a small object in the raised hand. Between them sits a tall golden kalasha-like vessel with a silver ornamental base, all wrapped in yellow and red marigold garlands with green leaves. Below, a small white statue in orange robes and a flower garland sits on a golden pedestal, and a brass oil lamp is visible at the lower edge. The arrangement is an alankar decoration of the shrine figures.

The seated male figure wears an orange turban and a jewelled necklace and holds a trident and a small drum, while the female figure beside him wears a purple and orange sari, layered gold necklaces and a tall crown. Both are draped with yellow and magenta flower garlands. In front, a white statue of a seated figure in a blue shawl with a rudraksha-style necklace sits on a white draped platform. Brass lamps and a kalasha-type vessel appear at the bottom of the frame. No living people are visible.

A golden murti of Shiva and Parvati seated side by side inside an ornate gilded arch, with a magenta satin backdrop. Shiva wears an orange turban and a crown-like headdress, holds a trident, and is adorned with layered necklaces and garlands; Parvati wears a gold crown and jewelled necklaces. In front stands a silver-and-gold lingam decorated with flower garlands, rudraksha-like jewelled ornaments and a red stone, with a small blue-clad figure below. The arch is ornate with floral and animal carvings. Both deities are statues, not living people.

A golden murti of Shiva and Parvati seated together on a throne-like base within a gilded arch, draped in red and magenta satin and heavily garlanded with red, yellow and white flowers. Shiva holds a trident in one hand and makes a blessing gesture; Parvati wears a crown and layered jewelled necklaces. In front of the central lingam-shaped form, a small white marble figure in a blue robe and turban with a garland stands at the base, appearing to be a statue rather than a living person. The scene is an image of deity murti decorated with flower garlands and jewellery.

Two large golden-hued statues sit above, the left one holding a trident-like staff and a raised hand, the right one wearing a jewelled crown and a green sari with a long silver staff. In front, a headless red-and-orange cloth-draped figure sits on a seat, wreathed in pink and yellow flower garlands, with rudraksha beads and a gold waistband, while a small copper figure stands in a niche at the base. No living people are visible; the scene is a sculptural tableau.
