A photograph of a stone shrine interior with two dark black stone Shivalinga lingams, each marked with three horizontal white tripundra stripes, and a small white marble Nandi bull seated in front on the right.

Close-up photograph of several black stone Shiva lingams on their yoni pedestals, set outdoors in sunlight against a grey stone wall and a pale stone ledge. Each lingam has a red and orange tilak mark painted on its side. At the top left, a hand rests on the ledge. No people are clearly visible apart from that hand, and no a person figure appears in the image.

Several stone Shivalinga murtis sit on carved yoni-shaped pedestals on a weathered stone ledge, with grey cylindrical lingams and smooth circular bases. A small green plant grows from a crack between the stones, and a worn stone step and wall surround them in dim light. No people are visible; the scene looks like an outdoor ghat-side shrine in Varanasi.

Three dark grey stone Shivalinga on yoni-pitha bases sit on bare reddish earth outdoors, with a green leafy shrub and a concrete slab at the top left. The lingas have carved markings, including a horizontal tripundra-style line on the left one. Scattered pebbles and small debris lie around the bases. No people are visible.

A dark grey stone Shiva lingam stands on a yoni-shaped pedestal on a tiled floor. Faint reddish-orange markings streak the lingam's shaft, and scattered pink flower petals lie near the base. Behind it, silver metal trim and a brown-orange cloth are visible. No people are present. The lingam appears to be a deity murti in a temple setting.

Dim photograph of a stone Shiva lingam set on a yoni-shaped pedestal carved into a grey stone floor, with a small carved Nandi bull figure at the left edge and a red-and-orange grilled border along the bottom. No people are visible; the lingam has light streaks of white on its upper side, and the scene looks like an unlit temple sanctum.
