A photo of a small open-sided temple shrine under a corrugated metal roof, with a stone platform holding a carved stone shrine canopy and a dark deity murti partly visible behind it. Three people stand on the paved floor: a woman in an orange-red sari with a dark handbag, and two men, one in a dark top and one in a reddish-orange cloth, performing a puja near the shrine with a lamp or offering. Yellow flower garlands hang on a pillar at left, and a white horse figure is visible at the upper left edge. Wet patches mark the stone floor, and blue doors stand behind the shrine.

Outdoor temple courtyard at dusk beneath a large tree, with a grey stone shrine pavilion holding a golden deity murti draped in orange cloth. Priests in orange and saffron robes perform a puja at the shrine platform, with a brass lamp in front. A woman in a white sari with a long grey-white braid bends over a low stone wall at right, while women in cream saris and many people dressed in white stand around the courtyard. A white tent canopy and brick walls frame the scene.

A photograph inside a covered temple courtyard showing a queue of devotees standing in line before a shrine. The shrine has a stone platform with a deity murti dressed in orange cloth and garlanded with yellow flowers, flanked by orange drapes and brass lamps. A priest in white clothing stands near the shrine, and a worker in orange attire tends the area. Women in yellow, green and blue saris and men in white shirts and dhotis stand along the line, while a seated devotee with folded hands is visible in the lower corner. The floor is polished concrete with a brass vessel and orange cloth in the foreground.

Several men in white dhotis and shawls and others in saffron-orange cloth stand around the shrine and an open stone platform; one plays a red-and-gold drum, another a hand drum, and one man in white kneels on the ground. Two black guardian statues flank the shrine and a red curtain hangs at the side. A small sign is visible to the right.

Outdoor stone pavilion with carved pillars at dusk, a priest in orange robe seated at a ritual area with brass oil lamp and offerings, a white-cloth-covered seat with a golden kalasha-like finial and a red-clad deity murti on a pedestal at right.

A photograph of a temple shrine with a stone platform and carved pillars. A figure with long dark hair wearing a blue wrap walks barefoot toward the shrine, back turned to the camera. On the shrine, deity murti in blue garments are decked with marigold garlands in orange and yellow, with a kalasha and offerings in front. On the left, men in white dhotis with garlands and ornate gold-edged cloth stand near a drummer playing a pair of drums, and a red building with a clock and a saffron flag stand in the background. A leopard-print mat lies on the floor.

A photograph of an outdoor shrine under a corrugated roof at a temple courtyard. A dark stone canopied shrine holds a deity murti draped in garlands of yellow and orange flowers, with purple cloth and a white cloth on its platform. Orange-red curtains hang at the sides. Several people walk through the courtyard: a man in a purple dhoti at the front, and a group in white dhotis and saffron-orange robes, one carrying a tray. A few people appear further back near the orange-walled building. No single person is identified as a person.
