A temple shrine decorated for worship, with a large central Shiva lingam draped in a magenta and green silk cloth, garlanded with red roses, white flowers and rudraksha beads, set before two brass oil lamps. Behind it, golden murtis of Shiva and Parvati stand under a silver-embroidered arch, flanked by two standing deity figures in ornate jewelled robes and crowns, with a red curtain as backdrop. Garlands of yellow marigolds and white flowers adorn the figures. No physical people are visible; the figures are statues.

At the centre sits a large seated murti of a Shiva lingam draped in a red and gold cloth with rudraksha garlands and white and marigold flower garlands.

Two standing statues flank the altar: a figure in green and blue with a green turban and marigold garland on the left, and a bearded figure in an orange-red turban and rudraksha malas on the right, holding a bell. Brass oil lamps and a small pink-clad figurine sit at the front on blue cushions, with colourful painted pillars at the back. No living people are visible.

A decorated altar with golden statues in a temple-style setting before red drapes. A seated deity murti in gold crown and robes sits centrally on a yellow throne-like seat, draped in dense garlands of red and white flowers, with a kumkum-marked face and a rudraksha-like necklace. Behind it, a tall gold-and-red deity murti holds a trident and a raised hand, beside a female figure in a white and orange sari. Standing statues on either side wear garlands of white and yellow flowers, one in a purple robe and one in a brown robe with a leopard-print headband. Brass oil lamps and flower petals lie on the stage floor below.
