Indoor temple shrine photographed close up. In the foreground stands a small gold-toned metal murti of a deity with a tall black hair knot, a red bindi, layered pearl and red-stone necklaces, and a deep red silk garment edged with gold zari, holding a ceremonial object in one raised hand. Behind it, a larger statue wearing a pink-red silk garment with gold brocade stands on a dark grey stone pedestal with a lotus-petal base. The black polished floor reflects the figures, and a silver plate with red offerings and scattered petals sits at the lower left. The background shows a printed backdrop of a temple corridor in muted purple tones and red drapery.A photograph of an empty ornate gilded throne or peetha inside a temple shrine, with a repoussé gold back panel decorated with figures and floral patterns. In front of it on a polished metal platform lie a folded maroon silk cloth with long ribbons, a white flower and pearl garland with a central pendant, yellow and pink flowers, and scattered petals. A small silver bowl sits at the left edge. No people are visible.A bronze-toned statue of a bare-chested sannyasi-style figure stands at the centre of a temple sanctum. He wears a maroon turban with a red tilak on the forehead, long dark swept-back hair, a multi-coloured jewelled necklace with red stones, and a red and magenta wrap draped over the shoulders above a magenta and green striped lower garment with a gold border. One hand is raised in abhaya mudra and the other is held out palm-up. Behind him are gilded pillars and deep red velvet drapes, with scattered rose petals on the dark floor. The figure is a statue, not a living person, so the in_person candidate is absent and the depiction is of a statue.

A bronze-toned standing murti of a figure with a smiling face, covered in white cooked rice grains as part of an annabhishekam offering. The figure has one raised hand in abhaya mudra and the other hand lowered with rice piled on it, wearing a short dhoti-style lower garment. A red-and-gold flowered offering sits on the head and a metal bangle-style base is at the bottom. The murti stands before a yellow cloth backdrop and a red velvet cushioned surface with sparkling fabric at right. No physical people are visible.
