A photograph of a golden processional or shrine display inside a hall. In the foreground, a seated golden statue of a saint in maroon and gold robes, wearing a pink and white flower garland and a jeweled crown-like headdress, holds one hand raised in blessing and rests the other on his knee, seated on an ornate gold arched throne flanked by golden lion figures. Above him stands a golden deity murti with a tall crown-like headdress, red cloth, and a garland, holding objects in its hands, under a golden canopy supported by carved arches. On the left edge, the arm and white-clad sleeve of a person holding a small oil lamp toward the statues is visible. A pink date stamp reading 29-Jul is in the lower right corner.

A golden seated statue of a male figure on an ornate gilded throne with lion-armrest carvings, wearing a red and orange turban, a yellow marigold garland, layered beaded necklaces and an orange-gold shawl over red cloth. Behind him a golden goddess murti in a crowned headdress with a pink drape and jeweled garland stands in an arched niche. Two decorative umbrella-like canopies with red and gold embroidery flank the throne. In front, brass oil lamps with lit flames, a brass plate with offerings and a small brass kalasha sit on a black-and-white checkered marble floor, with ash or incense smoke rising. No living people are visible; the subject is a statue.

A gold-painted statue of a seated saint in a carved golden throne niche, raising one hand in blessing. The figure wears a rust-red turban with a striped tiger-pattern wrap, a matching striped shawl, rust-red dhoti-style lower cloth with silver border, and multiple strands of silver and white beads with wooden rudraksha-style beads, and yellow flower garlands with red flowers. A brass oil lamp with a flame sits in the foreground, with a striped mat below. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.

A golden statue seated on a golden throne with a carved arch, dressed in a red and orange turban, pink and red silk garment with gold waist band, and layered gold coin necklaces. Pink and white garlands drape over the figure, and the statue's raised right hand shows a blessing gesture. Below, a small golden deity figure sits on a cushion with a pink cloth, flanked by two brass oil lamps and white flowers on a white-draped table. Behind are gold temple columns, hanging beaded decorations and a clock. This is a statue depiction, not a physical person, and it is not an identifiable a person by appearance.

A priest in a white dhoti with gold border and a cream head cloth stands bare-chested on the left, raising a silver ceremonial rod toward a gilded deity murti decorated with marigold and red flower garlands, gold jewellery and a large gold crown. Brass oil lamps and a plate sit on a dark pedestal below. In the foreground, a life-size printed cutout of a seated man in a red-maroon turban and saffron-red robes, wearing a yellow marigold garland and a ceremonial gold pendant, sits on a red velvet throne with gold trim; he has his right hand raised in blessing. Red and gold patterned banners frame the scene. A brass peacock-spouted oil lamp stands at the bottom left.

A photograph inside a temple-style hall shows a man seated on an ornate gold lion-armed throne with red cushions, wearing a saffron-orange head wrap, reddish-brown robe and a white and multicolour flower garland with gold ornaments on his wrists. A gilded footstool and a brass lamp stand nearby. To the right, a decorated deity murti is adorned with multicoloured flower garlands and sits on a golden orange-draped seat in front of a gold-framed niche with magenta drapery. Plates of food offerings are arranged on the floor, with a red patterned carpet beneath. The man appears to be a person based on the saffron head wrap, rudraksha-style adornments and the garlanded throne setting, but the appearance is only partly visible, so the identification is uncertain.
