Photograph of a ritual inside a shrine room. A figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange cloth wrap, with long swept-back hair and white ash markings on the upper arm, sits at lower left before a small flame and brass ritual objects on a red cloth. Behind him, a large deity murti with a red face, red cloth and garlands stands within an ornate decorated arch of flower garlands. A tall brass oil lamp with flowers stands beside the altar. A framed black-and-white portrait hangs on the upper left wall. Partial figures in white clothing appear at the left edge. Ritual pooja scene.

A photograph of a seated person in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap performing a ritual before a bronze deity murti of Nataraja-style dancing form set within a circular arch. The figure is adorned with garlands of red, yellow, green, pink and white flowers. The seated person, with a rudraksha-style bead necklace, holds a white ritual implement toward the murti. Brass oil lamps flank the altar, a small brass vessel and lamp sit in front, and a green curtain forms the backdrop.

A photograph inside a temple hall shows a woman in a saffron-orange silk dress and orange wrap performing a padapuja-style ritual beside a large deity murti. She reaches toward the deity's face and ornaments with both hands, adjusting a jewelled chain. The murti wears a silver crown, a green and gold garment, and an orange cloth, and is framed by a gilded arch and long garlands of red, yellow, purple, and green flowers. A gilded throne-like seat with garlands sits at left. The scene reads as puja and darshan in a shrine setting.
