A photograph of a temple shrine with ornate golden arches and grey carved pillars. Central deity murti stand in a blue-and-gold tableau: a figure with a trident and crown and a consort with a red floral crown, both draped in garlands of marigolds and red flowers. Below them a large linga-like form wears a red cloth and a golden hooded headdress, adorned with white garlands. In front, a white statue wears an orange cloth and rudraksha-style beads, seated before a small brass lamp. To the right, a standing figure in orange robes and a red garland stands in a golden niche. A red-clad figure appears at the lower left. No living people are visible.

The figures sit on a red and gold seat before a golden arched backdrop with embossed patterns. In front, a small statue of a saffron-robed sage with a turban and garland sits on an orange cloth draped over a raised altar. Brass lamps, a kalasha-like pot, offering bowls and flower arrangements stand on the altar. To the right, a smaller shrine shows another saffron-robed figure with a garland, and a woman's silhouette appears at the edge. Figures on the altar are statues or murtis, not physical people in the scene.2012-02-09September 19 20112011-09-19April 21 20122012-04-21September 19 20112011-09-19A shrine niche framed by an ornate gilded arch holds a deity murti of a seated couple on a green-and-yellow draped base, with magenta cloth backdrop. The male figure wears an orange turban, rudraksha-style necklaces and holds a trident and drum-like object; the female figure wears a green-and-white sari, gold jewellery and a crown. Both are garlanded with red and white flower strings. In front is a kalasha-like shivalinga-style offering with a red garland and an ornate pedestal. Flanking the arch are two standing attendant statues in orange and maroon clothing with beaded vests. The scene reads as a temple deity display during padapuja.2014-09-16March 06 20132013-03-06June 20 20132013-06-20A photograph of a golden temple shrine housing a large deity murti of Shiva and Parvati seated together on a gilded pedestal. The Shiva figure wears a red and orange turban, a blue lower garment, a trident in hand and a rudraksha-style necklace; the Parvati figure wears a red-orange garment and a gold crown with ornate jewelry.
