A close-up photograph of a polished brass Shiva linga on a square brass yoni-peetha base with a spout, set on red cloth with fringed gold-bordered textile edges. The stepped brass linga shows layered geometric tiers, a sacred-geometry form. Behind it stand two tall brass lamp stands or candlesticks, one with a red and orange floral decoration, and a garland of rudraksha beads hangs at the top. No people are visible; the arrangement suggests a temple shrine setup for abhishekam or puja.

A photograph of a metal shivalinga-style object on a white cloth in a temple setting. The copper-toned lingam has a stepped, lotus-petalled base and a carved stepped top, crowned with a garland of white flowers and green leaves. Behind it is a gold-coloured basin or abhishekam trough, with a copper vessel at the left edge, a silver puja bowl holding white flower petals at the right, a small oil lamp and yellow flowers on a whitewashed wall and a red and green mat. No people are visible, so this is an abhishekam setup photographed before or after ritual bathing.

Behind the altar, an ornate jewelled deity murti and embellished backdrop glint in dark light. No people are visible. The scene reads as a temple offering arrangement, with flowers, gemstone jewellery draped on the pedestal and a bowl of yellow offering.
