Dim photo of a deity murti or decorated figure in a dark shrine, with a yellow-painted face mask and dark garment, framed by an ornate silver arch. A person in a white robe with a red-striped sleeve stands in the foreground, one hand raised to touch the face, with another hand visible at lower left. Strings of small white beads hang from the arch at left.

A photograph inside a temple shrine with a dark blue backdrop and an ornate gilded golden arch with floral and scrollwork carvings above. A large dark deity murti with a tall crown-like headdress and carved face is visible. In the foreground, a person in a white robe with a red-and-white striped border leans in from the right and touches the cheek of a small smiling golden-yellow face mask or idol with dark eye openings. Pale hands rest near the lower edge. Blue-violet tint, vertical copyright text on the left edge.

A photograph of a shrine niche with a yellow-orange painted deity murti seated on a dark stone pedestal beneath an ornate silver arch topped with a face motif and a hanging brass lamp. The murti wears green and magenta beaded ornaments and holds ceremonial objects in its raised hands. A man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange sash stands at right, reaching toward the murti's head with a hand smeared with kumkum or turmeric paste, performing abhishekam-style worship. Rudraksha mala strands hang from the arch. A brass kalasha and a brass bowl with offerings sit on the floor, along with scattered petals and paper.

Night photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron shawl with a white tilak and red bindi, reaching toward a large polished gold deity murti at right. A man in a white shirt with glasses stands behind him, and a partly visible man in a striped shirt is at the left edge. The gold murti's face and crown fill the right foreground against a dark background. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair and orange saffron shawl, applied to the man in the saffron shawl who is adorning or attending the deity.

A photograph inside a temple shrine. An elderly man with a shaved head, bare-chested, wears an orange-red dhoti with gold borders, a beaded rudraksha mala and gold armlets, and holds a small vessel while offering to a black deity murti dressed in white and orange cloth with a white jasmine garland and pink flowers. Gold ornate shrine arch surrounds it, with a brass oil lamp burning at right. A younger man in white dhoti with gold border stands with folded hands in a respectful pose. Appearance-based cues on the elder are insufficient to confirm identity, so the role is described as a priest performing puja.

A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a priest in a white dhoti and white shawl with long dark hair and a red-orange head cloth, reaching toward a gilded deity murti decorated with a silver crown, ornate silver-gold necklaces and a blue garment. The murti stands before a gold-framed arch wrapped in garlands of yellow, purple, red and white flowers. A second attendant in an orange robe stands at left holding a tray with offerings. A brass lamp glows in the foreground beneath the garlands. The priest's appearance does not clearly match any recognizable candidate, so the figure is described by role only.

A photograph inside a room decorated for worship, showing a black stone deity murti seated beneath a large gilded arch. The murti wears a gold crown, a silver-and-gold necklace, a sacred thread, and holds a golden staff and a gold ornament, with a garland of red, yellow, orange and white flowers draped across it. In the foreground, a person in a white dhoti and shawl with dark hair is bent forward, facing the murti. Beside them stands a man in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair and a red tilak, his hand near the murti. A brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped finial stands on the right, next to a vase of orange and pink flowers.
