A photograph taken from behind a figure in a dark maroon turban and dark robe, wearing a garland of red and white flowers over the shoulders and beaded bangles on the arms, standing on a stepped platform before a temple shrine. The shrine has a yellow-orange canopy, red and white striped pillars, hanging garlands and a deity murti in a decorated alcove, with a red carpet leading toward it through a sunlit garden of trees and potted plants. The figure's face is not visible. No appearance-based identification is made.2016-10-11October 08 20162016-10-08A photograph of an outdoor shrine set among green trees under a yellow-roofed open pavilion.

Garlands of white and pink flowers hang around his neck. Behind him a second man in a cream kurta stands on the paved court, and a tall red-and-gold pillar, palm trees and a red boundary wall form the outdoor setting. A speaker and a small table are visible at the left edge. The figure's appearance does not clearly match the a person criteria, so he is described by role only.2017-04-17May 01 20122012-05-01Night photograph of a temple courtyard framed by two golden ornamental pillars topped with rearing mythical lion or yali figures.

In the foreground, a figure seen from behind wears a maroon turban, a white flower garland, and maroon robes with a yellow sash. Behind him, a priest in white dhoti and shawl stands at a row of brass oil lamps on a stand, and a man in maroon robes waits nearby. A large deity murti decorated with flower garlands is displayed on a platform, and a small shrine with a lit lamp stands to the right. Seated and standing devotees fill the lower left and centre.
