A photograph of a temple hall during a puja, with a row of around twenty orange and saffron ceremonial shoes or sandals lined against the back wall beside colourful deity statues, including a figure in blue and another in pink and gold. Several men and women sit on chairs and on a blue mat, many with bare upper bodies and white dhotis, some wearing face masks, with brass plates of offerings, flowers, lamps and small cups in front of them. Framed photographs hang on the gold-painted wall. At the right, a man in white dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate throne-like seat near a row of other seated men in white and maroon.

A photograph of a temple shrine room with bright yellow walls, garlanded deity murtis seated on a golden throne and smaller murtis on draped altar tables. Two men sit on red patterned mats on the floor: one in a dark grey polo shirt and white pants sits cross-legged facing the shrine, and another in a white shirt and grey trousers with a blue-grey head covering kneels on a black mat with his back bent. Framed photographs hang on the wall above, and a flower garland and peacock feathers decorate the scene, with lamps and brass items on the altar.

A selfie-style photo inside a yellow-walled temple room where several people sit on black and red mats in meditation or prayer. In the foreground, a man with a patterned blue-and-white head covering and a red tilak on his forehead holds the camera close to his face. To the left, a man in a light blue shirt sits with palms pressed together. A woman in a white top and black pants sits with hands folded, and another man in a white shirt sits with palms together near the altar. A woman in a pink patterned top bows her head with hands joined. On the altar stand large yellow-clad deity murtis, one wearing a tall crown and garlands, plus a smaller green-backed murti, brass lamps, a kalasha and marigold garlands. Gold-framed portraits hang on the wall. No figure in the scene is clearly identifiable as the a person.

Devotees sit seated on mats on a pale tiled floor in a temple hall before a gilded shrine with deity murtis draped in flower garlands and marigold offerings. In the foreground a bare-chested man in white dhoti with yellow border and rudraksha mala sits beside a woman in black top, white printed skirt and red shawl, her hands folded. A girl in black top and white dhoti-style cloth presses palms together in namaste, and a boy in striped shirt sits beside a woman with long blonde hair. Behind them men and women sit on chairs and mats, watching the shrine. Ornate gold pillars frame the murtis, including figures in blue and pink garments.

Two men sit on mats in a yellow-walled temple room for yoga practice. The man on the left wears a grey t-shirt and white trousers and sits cross-legged on a red patterned mat. The man on the right wears a white shirt, grey trousers and a blue head wrap, and sits on a black mat in a seated forward posture. Behind them stand deity murtis and framed devotional pictures on a decorated altar, with a garland of flowers hanging from the ceiling. Framed black-and-white and colour prints of deities hang on the wall, and brass oil lamps and puja vessels sit on a side table.

Indoor temple scene at a devalayam with gold-framed shrine niches holding deity murtis and gold-draped backdrops. Devotees sit on red patterned carpets in rows. A bare-chested man in white dhoti with white tilaka and rudraksha mala sits at right, and a man in orange jacket sits at left-center with a backpack. A man in white shirt and white dhoti sits on a low seat in the middle background, and a standing man in plaid shirt watches from the back. Some attendees wear grey, striped and dark jackets.
