In the foreground a woman in a maroon sari with a white flower garland and gold jewellery stands beside a black stone shivalingam garlanded with flowers.

An outdoor photograph of a devotional gathering beneath tall trees. A large black stone deity murti, decorated with a yellow-and-orange cloth and a long marigold garland, sits on a red pedestal before a silver arched backdrop draped with teal fabric. Several devotees stand in a loose group with hands folded in prayer. Men wear saffron and orange robes and white dhotis, and a woman in a red sari with a white garland stands at right. A small oil lamp and marigold offerings lie near the base. Scaffolding, stacked stone blocks and a dirt path appear behind the group, with palm trees in the distance.

A photograph of an outdoor shrine under a leafy tree at a temple site. A black stone deity murti with multiple arms sits within an ornate silver arch set above a red-painted mound of stones, with a coiled serpent carved along its base and a shivalinga-like stone with a red mark in front. A person in an orange robe with a multicoloured flower garland and an orange head wrap bends forward at the shrine, while another person in white lies prone on the ground in front of the serpent base. Two people in white clothing stand in the background, and a figure in an orange garment is partly visible at the lower left.

Outdoor photograph of a shaded grove under a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. At the centre stands a black stone shiva lingam shrine with a white arched frame carved with floral motifs, decorated with a garland of yellow and orange marigolds and an orange cloth draped over the deity. The base is heaped with red-orange offerings. A woman in a white sari with a yellow border leans toward the shrine, placing an offering. Around it, several devotees in white and cream traditional clothes and yellow shawls stand and watch; one man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands with his palms joined in namaste. A small green plastic container sits by the tree base. No clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.

Outdoor temple scene under a large spreading tree with hanging aerial roots. In the foreground stands a dark stone deity murti on a black pedestal, decorated with flower garlands and green leaves, with a trident-like ceremonial staff beside it. A table with a blue and white cloth holds brass vessels and offering plates. Two bald priests in orange-saffron dhotis and shawls stand under the tree near a flowered platform, while several people in white dhotis and orange clothing gather around. A seated woman in a red sari with garlands sits to the left on an orange seat. A turquoise structure and a white pole stand in the background, and marigold petals are scattered on the ground.

Outdoor temple courtyard beneath a large old banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. A large orange-coloured mound. Beside it stands a dark stone statue draped in orange cloth, with an orange garland, next to a tall white pillar. Several people in white dhotis and white shirts stand or walk around the shrine, and an older woman in a white sari with orange border stands at left near a stone platform, possibly performing worship. A man in grey trousers and white shirt with a pendant walks in the foreground. The scene appears to be a shrine worship area; no clearly identifiable in-person candidate for the a person is visible.
