A night photograph of an outdoor shrine set on a mound of rounded reddish-brown stones beneath dark foliage. A large red umbrella with multicoloured fringe and embroidered panels shades a black stone murti seated in an ornate gilded arch. The figure wears an orange cloth wrap, a white and pink flower garland, and a gold necklace. In the foreground a pink-draped lingam with three horizontal white stripes and a red dot, garlanded with white and pink flowers, sits on a small pedestal. No people are visible.

A black stone deity murti under a red ceremonial umbrella with tassels, seated within an ornate gold arch decorated with a crowned top and gold filigree. The murti wears an orange silk cloth draped over its head and body, a white flower garland, pink roses, and a large white ornamental pendant on a gold chain. Its face is painted white with a small red tilak mark on the forehead. Dark foliage surrounds the shrine at night, and a lamp glows at the lower right edge. No living people are visible.

Outdoor shrine set among trees, showing a dark-hued four-armed deity murti standing in front of a white arched stone frame. The murti wears an orange garment and red turban-like headwear, a gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads, and holds implements in its hands with red flowers. Below, a smaller orange-draped figure with a red headcloth and tilak sits on a rough stone base edged in black-and-white painted pattern. Red flower offerings lie on the base, and a brass oil lamp stands at right. Lush green foliage frames the scene.

A large silver arch with embossed floral and figural relief frames a black stone murti draped in orange cloth and garlanded with white and pink flower necklaces and a gold-and-silver ornamental chest piece. Below it sits a silver ornate base with a red-trimmed orange cloth draped over the pedestal, flower garlands, and a stone-covered ground. No people are visible.

A night-time photograph of an outdoor shrine. A man with long dark hair and a beard, dressed in a white kurta and white dhoti with bare feet, stands at left holding a brass lamp stand with a lit flame toward the shrine. At centre, a black stone deity murti wearing an orange cloth and a white flower garland sits beneath a golden arch and a red and multicoloured fringed umbrella. In front, a rocky mound holds a pink-robed figure garlanded with red and white flowers. Brass pots and small oil lamps sit on the ground around a water-filled stone basin, and dark trees frame the scene.

A dark stone statue of a seated figure in an orange-saffron shawl and an orange head cloth, adorned with white and multicoloured flower garlands, sits within an ornate silver arch frame in an outdoor setting at dusk, surrounded by a large tree with hanging aerial roots. A small seated devotee in white dhoti and white head cloth with a red shawl sits on the ground at the lower left, near a golden ornamental object. The statue rests on a dark stone plinth bearing a small inscribed nameplate.
