Outdoor festival scene at a stone shrine arch with a gold-framed niche. Two painted deity murtis stand in the arch, both with dark skin tones, one in an orange-and-gold turban holding a red flower and wearing red and gold garments, the other in a teal and pink sari with gold jewellery. Both are draped in long garlands of purple, pink, orange and white flowers. In front, a small silver kalasha-like object is adorned with flower garlands. A person in an orange robe and white headband stands at the left edge, reaching toward the murtis with a brass plate. A blue cloth backdrop and a peacock feather decorate the arch.

A photograph of an outdoor ceremony at an ornately decorated shrine with a golden arch. In the centre sits a deity murti with a tall orange-and-red turban, crown-like ornaments, gold jewellery and a raised hand, flanked by a second murti in a red sari-style garment with a gold crown and necklaces. The figures are heavily garlanded with yellow, white, pink and purple flower garlands. On the left, a figure with long dark hair in an orange robe and white shawl, wearing a white and gold head wrap and garlands, holds a brass plate with a lit oil lamp, an aarti gesture. A hand in orange sleeve holds a lamp at the bottom edge. Only that figure is a physical person in the foreground; the murtis are statues. The appearance-based candidate is a person with long hair, orange robe and white head wrap, although a clear face-free identification is uncertain.

Three decorated murti statues stand on a draped purple and green pedestal before an ornate gold arch with a red backdrop. The central figure wears an orange turban, a multi-strand necklace and a white flower garland, with raised hands. Flanking figures wear green and purple saris, jewelled necklaces, crowns and white and pink flower garlands. Pink and red flowers decorate the base. This is a deity murti arrangement, not living people.

Three deity murti sit in a gilded arched shrine with a teal backdrop, decorated with white jasmine garlands and red flowers. The central figure wears an orange turban and orange shawl, holds a trident, and sits on a golden-brown cushion with a green-bordered cloth. Two female figures flank him, each wearing orange and red saris, gold jewellery and tall crowns, holding objects in their hands. A small animal figure sits near the left figure's feet. The image is a photograph of statues, with no physical people present.

A temple shrine photographed from the front, with a large golden arched frame behind the deities. Two large painted deity murtis, one with a red and white turban and a crown, one with a green and gold crown, are dressed in yellow, green and red garments and draped with purple and white garlands. A smaller figure sits in front of them on a white cloth, with a rudraksha-style garland and a red head covering. To the right, a standing devotee statue in green and yellow robes with folded hands stands within a green-curtained niche. Brass oil lamps (diyas) and small brass vessels sit on the floor in front, and a dark stone-columned pavilion frames the scene. No living people are visible.
