A temple courtyard with a shrine holding a large deity murti decorated with yellow and orange flower garlands and a gold frame. A seated monk in saffron robes, with a shaved head, stands at the left beside the shrine. Near the centre, a framed photograph of a long-haired figure in orange clothing with a rudraksha mala sits on a red velvet chair with gold trim, flanked by an orange cushion. In front, a red-draped table holds a silver tray of marigold garlands. Devotees in white clothes with flower garlands walk in a line through the courtyard; a woman in an orange sari walks among them. Brightly coloured textiles hang from a red pillar.

A photograph of a temple courtyard with an orange-painted wall and corrugated roof. A seated figure in orange clothing and a red-cushioned gold-edged throne sits at left, wearing a beaded necklace; the figure's appearance is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity. Several priests in white dhotis and orange shawls stand in a row near a shrine, one pouring from a silver vessel while others hold offerings. Behind them a deity murti in a decorated arch, garlanded with flowers, is displayed. Rows of brass pots stand on the floor, and red carpets cover the foreground. Some women in saris stand in the background.
