A photograph inside a temple shrine. A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala stands at left in a flowing saffron-orange robe, raising one hand in greeting. Beside him stands a large gold-coloured metal deity murti of a seated male deity with a white dhoti and gold ornaments, flanked by a consort figure in a red and gold sari with a crown and jewelled necklaces. Both are draped with thick garlands of yellow, red, white and green flowers. A small golden shivalinga-style pedestal sits on a brass tray in the foreground, and a golden arch frames a small figure at the base. Red curtains and gold-painted carved pillars surround the shrine.

A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a standing figure in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala, smiling and raising one hand in greeting, flanked by gilded pillars. Beside him stand two large golden deity murtis draped with multicoloured garlands in red, yellow, white and green, with gold jewellery and crowns; the one at centre holds a hand in blessing. A small gold ornamental stand sits in front. A person in a white dhoti and checked shirt stands at the right edge. The figure's appearance is consistent with the a person presentation but uncertain.

The two murti, one male with a golden-yellow turban and one female with a gold crown, are draped in layered garlands of red, yellow, green and white flowers and gold necklaces. Ornate gilded pillars frame the shrine, with a carved Ganesha relief at lower left and a small brass kalasha and an ornate brass lamp stand in front. A garland-decorated alankaram is evident. Appearance-based cues are present but the identity remains uncertain.

A man in saffron-orange robes stands at the left, wearing an orange turban, a gold pendant on a beaded necklace, and a floral garland of white and pink flowers; he raises his right hand in a blessing gesture. Behind him are two large deity murti figures with gold crowns and ornate jewelled necklaces, one in an orange turban and one in a red-brown and teal sari with a crown, set against a backdrop of yellow, red and white flower garlands. A decorated offering arrangement with flower garlands and a gold-framed plate lies in front of the figures. Stone pillars frame the shrine.

A standing man in long, swept-back hair and orange saffron robes, wearing a white and red flower garland and a gold necklace, smiles and raises his right hand in a blessing gesture before a richly decorated shrine. Behind him, golden deity figures in orange cloth and crowns stand beneath a gold arch framed by multicoloured marigold and rose garlands. In front, a dark stone linga wrapped in orange cloth and jewelled garlands sits beside a white marble seated saint figure in orange robes with a yellow garland and raised hand, with a brass oil lamp on the platform. Scattered petals lie on the stone floor.

A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange silk dhoti and shawl with gold borders stands smiling before a decorated shrine. He wears a white and red flower garland, a gold chain and a red bindi. Behind him are two large metal deity murtis, one seated with a raised hand and a crown, the other seated beside it, both adorned with jewelled necklaces and red garments. The shrine is framed by yellow and multicoloured flower garlands, and a small brass shrine with a deity figure and flower garlands sits in front. The man's features and appearance cues match the page's a person label, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

A standing man in a rust-brown dhoti-style garment with gold borders and a brown shawl stands on a stage at left, waving his right hand and smiling. He wears a gold-bead necklace with a rudraksha-style mala, gold bangles and a red bindi, with long dark hair. Beside him, two large seated deity murtis are decorated with red and pink flower garlands and green leaves: the left figure is gold-faced with an orange turban and white-and-yellow silk, and the right figure wears a gold crown, maroon drape and gold jewellery. Yellow silk drapes the base, and a dark velvet curtain and gold arch frame the scene.

A standing man in saffron-orange robes and a long gold-and-rudraksha ceremonial necklace smiles beside a flower-decorated shrine, with a long black hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and a raised hand. Behind him stands a deity murti with a crown, trident and a flower-draped kalasha, flanked by a richly garlanded arch of red, yellow, purple and white blossoms. A garlanded figure of a seated saint in orange sits in front of a flower-covered lingam-like form. Brass oil lamps and a banana leaf frame the scene. The man has long, swept-back hair and rudraksha-style adornments, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in person, consistent with the page's pada puja event.
