Photograph of a temple shrine entrance seen from behind a standing woman in an orange sleeveless top and orange wrap, long dark hair loose down her back. She faces an inner sanctum framed by a gold arch and green leaf garlands, where a deity murti stands in a dark niche with gold and red ornaments, flanked by brass lamps and a small orange-clad seated figure before the altar. Two painted stone female guardian statues in gold saris stand at the doorway, and red curtains hang at the sides with colourful striped pillar wraps. Polished granite floor and white walls.

A photograph inside a white marble temple hall. On the left, a figure in a saffron-orange robe with a long dark hair and a white-and-multicoloured flower garland walks barefoot across the polished floor, smiling toward a dark stone deity murti standing on a plinth, draped in a red-and-gold sari-like garment with a green curtain hanging beside it. A gold-coloured elephant trunk shape rises near the frame. Through a doorway on the right, a small lamp stand and a red-and-gold object sit on a yellow-banded platform. Ornate white carved pillars and a wall clock complete the setting.

A person in orange sannyasi robes with a long dark braid stands with their back to the camera, facing a shrine in an open pavilion. Inside the shrine stands a deity murti with a trident and a garland of marigolds and red flowers, with a green and magenta cloth beneath. Brass oil lamps flank the shrine, and an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions sits to the right, with a red fabric wall and orange curtain framing the scene. Green trees are visible behind the railing.
