Photograph of a temple shrine showing a large golden deity murti of a seated couple in orange and blue garments, with a trident, serpent-topped staff and crown, behind a Shiva lingam-shaped base draped in orange cloth and heaped with red and yellow marigold garlands. In front, a small white and yellow seated statue of a saint with a yellow shawl sits on a low pedestal. Ornate gold arch and green brocade curtain frame the scene. No physical people are visible; the statues are the only figures.

A photograph of a temple shrine with a golden arched frame and a green draped backdrop. Two large gilded deity murtis stand together: the left figure wears a red turban, gold necklaces and holds a trident-like staff, while the right figure wears a dark crown and an orange-and-yellow dhoti-style drape. Both are garlanded with pink and white flower strands. In front sits a smaller white shivalinga-like form wrapped with an orange cloth and rudraksha-style beads, with a purple-clothed attendant figure seated before it. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a purple-robed standing figure with a gold necklace appears at the right. The scene shows no living people; all figures are statues or murtis.

Ornately decorated deity murti of Shiva and Parvati seated under a gilded arch on a throne-like dais. The male figure wears an orange turban with a crescent crown, holds a trident and a drum, and is adorned with layered silver necklaces; the female figure wears a red and blue sari, a jewelled headdress and pearl necklaces. Both are garlanded with white and red-yellow flower strands. Before them a small white-clad seated figure in an orange shawl with a garland sits in front of a silver-and-gold backdrop, with brass oil lamps flanking the arch and a lit lamp in the foreground. The setting resembles a temple shrine decorated for a festival.
