A photograph of a temple courtyard where a large reclining Vishnu-form deity murti rests in a shallow pool on a bed of serpent coils, draped in yellow cloth and garlands. A yellow and red canopy with dark green fringe shelters the scene. In the foreground a man with long dark hair and a bright orange turban, wearing a red-orange wrap, stands at the railing with his hands together. Beside him, devotees in orange and saffron robes and white clothes line the brass railing, some with hands folded in prayer, and a woman in a white top stands among them. Brass lamps line the rail, and red brick walls and a white building appear behind.

Photograph from behind of a group standing at a rail beside a large turquoise-blue temple pool with stone steps and a tiered stepped structure behind it. The central figure wears an orange-red turban and a red sleeveless top with long dark hair, and appears to be a person by appearance cues of long swept hair, orange turban and ceremonial clothing, though the view is from behind. Beside him stand figures in saffron-orange robes, one bald, and a man in a yellow shawl on the left. A golden temple tower with figures rises in the background, with a blue-and-green building wall on the right.

A devotee in an orange-saffron shawl draped over bare shoulders stands with palms pressed together in namaskar at a temple shrine, facing a black stone deity murti with a chain-and-hook arch above it. Brass oil lamps line a metal railing in the foreground, and a man in a red shirt and another in a grey vest stand nearby. A sign above the arch reads in Devanagari that the temple's entrance and light-filled area are closed for repairs. The stone entrance is decorated with green leaves and red cloth, and the scene is set against a wet hillside and rooftops. a person's appearance cues: long swept-back hair and a saffron shawl; this person is praying at the shrine.

A barefoot man in a red silk dhoti and matching red shawl stands with his back to the camera before a stone shrine ledge in a temple. He wears a tan-brown turban and has long dark hair. Beside him are tall brass oil lamps and a small ornate altar. On the left, a deity murti in orange robes is decorated with a white flower garland and marigold strings, and a red cloth is draped nearby. A red-and-white striped pillar and an orange curtain are visible at right, with a potted plant beside them.

Outdoor photograph at a temple ghat beside a green water tank, with stone steps behind. In the foreground a bare-chested man in a white cloth with a black rudraksha mala and a long plaited hair points toward a red-painted shrine structure draped with red and orange marigold garlands and hanging bells. Beside him a man with long dark swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, a beard and a dark orange-brown robe holds a marigold garland and offers it at the shrine. A younger man in a maroon robe stands behind them, and a seated person in an orange shawl is at the right edge, facing the shrine. The scene suggests ritual worship at the shrine.

A man in an orange turban and orange robes leans over a blue-lined tub of water, dipping his right hand into it while holding a small gold-coloured vessel in his left hand. He wears a long gold-bead necklace with a rudraksha-style pendant and bare upper arms. Submerged in the water are gold-toned metal murti figures, including a standing deity figure and an arched halo-like piece. Behind him, several people in orange robes and one in white stand close by; a silver pot with a red-tipped stalk is visible at the top of the frame. The scene is an outdoor ritual bathing of sacred images.
