Photograph of a temple interior at night, looking down a central aisle lined with polished steel railings and a red carpet toward a gilded shrine. Two large deity murtis sit on a raised dais under golden arches, both draped with red garments and garlands of white and pink flowers; one holds a raised hand and the other wears a crown. A brass kalasha and oil lamp stand before them, with ornate silver-toned arches framing the entrance. Several people in white clothing sit on the left side of the aisle, and a few figures are seated near the shrine on the right.

Photograph of a temple shrine seen down a railed walkway lined with steel barriers and a red carpet. Inside the shrine, a large golden deity murti pair sits on a raised seat draped in red and green cloth, adorned with garlands and necklaces, with a trident-bearing figure at the left. In front, a bald priest in orange-brown robes kneels at a stone platform arranged with ritual items, lamps and white garlands. A seated figure in white sits at the left edge and a robed attendant stands at the right.

A photograph taken down a railed aisle with a red carpet leading toward a golden shrine. A deity murti pair stands on a gilded pedestal with garlands of yellow and multicoloured flowers, backed by a red and gold arch and orange draped cloth. Two seated figures in white ritual clothes sit before the shrine, one at the front and one beside it, while a camera on a tripod records the scene. Audience members in white sit along both sides behind metal railings, with a hanging decorative banner at right and open-air roofing and greenery beyond.

Photograph of an empty temple corridor leading toward a shrine. Two steel railings form a narrow walkway lined with a dark red carpet runner. At the far end, a golden arched niche framed by red drapery holds a deity murti with a crown and multiple arms, seated beside a consort figure in yellow and red garments. Red and white marigold garlands hang across the figures and a kalasha-like vessel sits on a dark stone altar base. No people are visible in the scene.

Night-time photograph inside a covered temple hall during an arati. Three figures in white robes stand before a shrine alcove framed by orange curtains and red pillars. The central figure holds up a flaming lamp with an outstretched arm, and the figure on the right raises another lit lamp; a third person stands between them. The shrine holds a pair of deity murtis draped in yellow and white garments, decorated with marigold and multicolour garlands and flanked by brass oil lamps. Seated devotees in white line the foreground, with metal railings guiding the central walkway.

A red carpet runs down a narrow aisle between tall metal railings toward a shrine. At the far end, two large deity murtis stand on a dark platform, one dark-skinned figure with a crown and the other in white and blue dhoti-like drapery, both adorned with red and white garlands and gold ornaments. Golden draped fabric and a gilded arch frame the shrine, with a bell hanging to the left and brass lamps in front. A single person in white clothing stands near the left edge of the frame, partly hidden by the railings.
