A shrine interior photographed from the front, with a golden arched frame and red satin drapes. At the centre sits a large deity murti pair with gold crowns and yellow-and-purple flower garlands, one figure holding a trident-like staff. In front, a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a white-draped platform beneath a garland, the figure appearing to be a statue or portrait rather than a live person. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and a small golden peetha sit in the foreground, with a standing green-clad figure at the right edge. The setting appears to be an open pavilion with carved stone pillars and greenery visible behind.

A photograph of a temple shrine with a golden arch framing a deity murti pair seated on a throne, draped in red and magenta cloth and garlanded with yellow and purple marigold flowers. Below them, a white-robed figure with an orange turban sits on the seat, with a seated orange-robed statue in front of it wearing a garland and a white dhoti and teal-bordered cloth nearby. Brass vessels, an oil lamp and a small green-clad figure stand in the side shrine, with red curtains and carved stone pillars around. No living people are visible. The orange-robed seated figure is a statue, so the candidate is a depiction rather than a person present.

A temple shrine photographed from below, with a large gilded arch framing a pair of golden deity murtis seated on a throne over a red silk backdrop. The two gold figures wear crowns and jeweled necklaces; the figure on the left holds a trident-like weapon. A white statue draped in saffron and wearing a saffron turban sits in front, adorned with a long garland of yellow and purple flowers and a dark green-and-gold backrest. Brass lamps, a brass kalasha-style vessel, a flower-filled plate and a book on a wooden stand sit on the stone platform below. A white dhoti with teal border lies over the seat. No living people are visible.

A temple shrine photographed indoors with a gilded arched frame and red satin backdrop. Two gold-coloured deity murtis stand behind, one wearing a red crown and the other a golden crown, both garlanded with yellow and purple flowers. In front sits a white marble statue of a seated sage dressed in orange robes with an orange head cloth and a gold waist ornament, also garlanded with marigolds and purple flowers. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and offering dishes sit on a white cloth-draped platform. Red curtains frame the open sides of the shrine, and a small green-clad figure appears in a niche to the right. The statue depicts a seated figure, not a living person, so no physical people are present.

Two large gilded deity murti stand at the rear, one crowned and holding a trident-like object; they are garlanded with yellow and purple flower garlands.

Below, a small white marble statue in saffron-orange robes with a matching orange head cloth sits in front. Brass pots, a lamp and offering vessels sit on the platform, and a small gilded figure stands on the right. Columns of grey stone flank the open pavilion, with trees visible through the side openings.

The gilded figures wear red turbans, ornate necklaces and jewelled ornaments, and one holds a trident-like weapon. In front, a white marble statue in orange robes and a red turban sits with hands folded, wearing a rudraksha mala and crowned with yellow and purple marigold garlands.

Two gold-coloured deity murtis sit on a raised throne, one wearing a red turban and holding a trident-like attribute, with a large white Nagaraja-style hooded cobra head above them, adorned with yellow and purple marigold garlands. Below in front, a figure in orange robes sits on a white seat, seemingly a statue or depiction of a seated teacher with a rudraksha mala. Brass oil lamps stand on both sides, with brass vessels, a bowl of flowers and a small figure in the corner.

The seated figures wear gold crowns and ornaments, with a red-and-gold headdress on the central figure, and both are garlanded with yellow and purple flower strands.

Tall brass oil lamps with bird finials stand on both sides, along with brass vessels and a red cloth draped over the shrine columns. No physical people are visible.
