A photograph of a seated planning meeting in a plain tiled room at night. A woman in orange robes and a man in orange shawl sit on the floor with a group of men in white shirts and white dhotis, many wearing rudraksha malas. A seated man in white holds a notepad and pen, a cameraman with a shoulder camera films the group, and a woman in orange sits at left. Several standing men in white look on from the back, and an open doorway and floral curtain are visible behind them. The page identifies the setting as a planning session for Arunachala Sarvajnapeetam, but no figure is clearly marked as a person by appearance cues, so the orange-clad participants are described by role only.

Photograph inside a plain room with pale yellow walls and blue-painted wooden doors with arched tops, one bearing painted peacock and floral panels. Three men in plain white shirts and trousers handle a long, dark cylindrical object with a wooden base, lifting and carrying it across the floor. A fourth man in a grey shirt stands in the background near a doorway, and a partly visible person in light clothing stands at the left edge. Cardboard boxes and crates are stacked near the left door.

Behind him, a man in white dhoti and shirt bends over a table, and a third person in a striped shirt stands at the right edge. A pair of antlers hangs on a wooden board at the left, with a tiled floor beneath.

A temple interior scene where a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands beside a decorated deity murti dressed in white and red flower garlands, with a gold crown and gold trim on a red-and-blue cloth. On the right, a figure in a sleeveless saffron-orange robe and a long white flower garland stands facing the murti with white markings on his forearm and upper arm. Beside him, a man in an orange robe stands with hands folded, and a young man on the far right joins his palms in namaskar. A man in a light blue shirt holds the left side of the murti at the edge of the frame. Brass lamps and a framed picture are visible on a wooden cabinet in the background, with a red curtain at right and a bowl of white powder on the floor in the foreground. The scene appears to show a darshan or abhishekam moment before the murti.

A photograph of a temple ritual in a pink-walled room with brass oil lamps on tall stands. Several men perform a puja. A bare-chested priest in orange dhoti with white sacred markings on his chest and arms sits before a large steel plate and a small wooden platform, with a flower garland and coconut in front of him. Beside him another man in orange and white reaches toward a lamp. A man in white dhoti sits at left, a man in a blue-and-white garment sits at right, and a man in orange dhoti and a pink cloth stands at far right adjusting his hair. Brass vessels and a decorated pot stand nearby.

Interior workshop where gilded temple deity murti and ritual objects are being prepared. In the foreground at right, a large gold-coloured deity murti wears a green and gold garment, a gold necklace and a tall crown, with raised hand. Behind it, a gold-coloured tiered shrine structure and a golden mythical animal figure stand among wooden planks and crates. On the left, a person in an orange-brown garment sits on the floor near a wooden stand, sweeping with a broom. Four men in white dhotis and white shirts stand in the middle of the room, two wearing garlands of rudraksha-like beads, with others watching. Small brass items and jewellery sit on a cloth and tray in front of the murti.
