A small brass murti of a deity stands at the centre of a decorated altar, dressed in a teal and green garment and crowned with a tall black conical headpiece edged with small white beads. It is framed by a red backdrop and a curved arch of red carnations, white flowers, yellow marigolds and green leaves. Light green ruffled garlands hang down on either side of the figure. Pink paper-style peonies and pale yellow roses lie at its base, with orange marigolds along the bottom edge. To the right stands a glass vase holding pink blossoming branches, and beside it a wooden bowl holds halved pomegranates. Lavender sprigs and red roses sit at the left edge, on a blue cloth with gold-embroidered trim. No people are visible.

A priest in a yellow turban and white dhoti with orange-gold borders stands at left, bare-chested, wearing a multi-strand necklace of dark beads and a gold pendant. He holds a round plate piled with bright red kumkum powder toward the viewer. Behind him, a golden ornate canopy frames three deity murtis dressed in red and green silks, garlanded with yellow marigold and multicoloured flower strings, with brass kalasha pots and floral offerings in front. A white rangoli lotus design is drawn on the floor at lower right, and a palm frond hangs at the top left.

A homa fire burns in a fire pit in front of a decorated shrine. Tall flames rise from wood logs, with green coconuts or fruit and a red-bordered cloth placed at the base of the pit. Behind it, three deity murtis stand on a red-draped altar under a golden canopy edged with tricolour flower garlands in purple, yellow, red and white. The central figure wears a crown, a red garland and jeweled ornaments, flanked by figures with gold crowns and red and yellow garlands. Kalasha pots with green leaves and marigold garlands sit at the altar's side, and small oil lamps stand near the deities. No people are visible.

A priest in a yellow turban and white dhoti with orange-gold borders stands at left, bare-chested, wearing a multi-strand necklace of dark beads and a gold pendant. He holds a round plate piled with bright red kumkum powder toward the viewer. Behind him, a golden ornate canopy frames three deity murtis dressed in red and green silks, garlanded with yellow marigold and multicoloured flower strings, with brass kalasha pots and floral offerings in front. A white rangoli lotus design is drawn on the floor at lower right, and a palm frond hangs at the top left.

A homa fire burns in a fire pit in front of a decorated shrine. Tall flames rise from wood logs, with green coconuts or fruit and a red-bordered cloth placed at the base of the pit. Behind it, three deity murtis stand on a red-draped altar under a golden canopy edged with tricolour flower garlands in purple, yellow, red and white. The central figure wears a crown, a red garland and jeweled ornaments, flanked by figures with gold crowns and red and yellow garlands. Kalasha pots with green leaves and marigold garlands sit at the altar's side, and small oil lamps stand near the deities. No people are visible.

A festive temple-style stage at KAILASA Hyderabad decorated with gold pillars, colourful striped and floral garlands, and an orange-yellow canopy. Three deity murtis are dressed in red, green and white garments with flower garlands and gold crowns, seated behind marigold offerings, brass oil lamps and kalasha pots on a red-draped table. In front is a square yellow-brown clay-brick fire pit for a homa. To the right, a seated man in a red-orange turban, white-and-green floral garlands and a red-orange cloth sits on an ornate gold throne, smiling and raising a hand. A tall green palm-leaf decoration stands beside him.

The man on the far left wears a white turban and rudraksha mala, the man second from left a white turban and mala, the man on the right a white head wrap and mala. A man on the right side wears a red turban, a striped multicolour shawl and a rudraksha mala. Behind them is a golden deity murti adorned with garlands, flanked by an ornate gold throne, banana-leaf style pillars, and colourful striped bunting with floral and elephant painted columns.

A photograph of a seated figure in a pink-red turban and pink-red robes, smiling, with a vertical tilak on the forehead, seated before an ornate gold throne with carved elephant-head motifs at its top. The figure is heavily decorated with a garland of white flowers with blue dotted accents, arranged in stripes of green, yellow, red and white, along with red marigold garlands and a bouquet of flowers and greenery at the lap. A red silk brocade cloth with gold patterns covers the seat. This is a decorated deity or alankaram-style display, with the seated figure shown as an ornamented presentation rather than a clearly identified person.

A small bronze-toned figure, a deity murti, stands centrally against a red velvet backdrop framed by a gilded ornate arch. The figure wears a tall gold crown set with jewels, a blue upper garment, a pink and green lower garment, and a heavy jewelled necklace with a pendant. It holds a golden rose-like bundle in one hand and a thin staff topped with green leaves in the other, while the open palm is adorned with a small jewel. White and pink beaded and flower garlands surround the figure, with white flowers and a pink flower at the base. No people are visible.

A small golden metal deity murti stands on a gold pedestal in front of a red velvet backdrop with a gilded arch frame and warm light. The figure wears a tall crown with pearl beading and a red gemstone, a green and red garment, a blue shawl, and layered rhinestone necklaces with a large pendant. It holds a golden bundle in one hand and a slender white staff with green leaves in the other. Its shoulders and sides are framed by white jasmine-style flower garlands and pale white and pink felt petal arrangements. No people are visible.

A photograph of a shrine altar with a large printed portrait of a bearded man in a maroon turban, many gold chains and beaded necklaces, seated in meditation pose with a raised hand, framed by orange marigold garlands. Two small deity murti dressed in pink and blue silks, white and pink flower garlands, sit under a gilded arch on a red embroidered cloth. Red and white roses flank the portrait, with a brass plate of flower petals and a bowl of white offering in front. No physical people are visible. The portrait's man has distinctive turban, beard and gold necklace cues and a seated pose, so the probable identity label applies to the depicted figure.

A gold-thread embroidered red border and a swastika engraving on the tray rim are visible. No people are shown, and the scene appears to be a flower offering prepared for ritual worship.

Brass lamps and a small brass cup with white liquid sit at the top edge. No people are visible, and no deity image or a person depiction is shown.

The figure on the right wears a jeweled crown, silver necklace, pink and green garment, and a blue-white draped covering with a staff. Strings of lights glow above.
