A man in a yellow dhoti-style garment with a yellow shawl draped over his shoulders stands barefoot on a dark tiled platform, hands joined in front of his chest with eyes closed. A rudraksha mala hangs around his neck and his hair is tied up in a bun. Before him is a black stone deity murti dressed in a blue cloth, adorned with yellow and orange marigold garlands, seated in a white arched shrine framed by a magenta backdrop. A heap of red powder offerings lies at the base, and an orange cloth loop hangs from a tree overhead.

A photograph of a man standing barefoot on a dark polished floor in front of a shrine under a banyan tree. He wears a green striped dhoti with a gold-bordered waist cloth and a green-and-gold shawl draped over his bare shoulders, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and his hair tied in a bun. His hands are pressed together in anjali mudra, and he faces a black stone deity murti seated in yellow cloth, garlanded with yellow and red flowers, within a white arched niche backed by green drapery. In front stands a pile of red kumkum-covered stones and a small offering vessel. No visible identity cue for the man beyond the attire; his role is devotee in prayer.

Outdoor shrine under dense tree canopy: a black stone deity murti seated within a white carved arched niche backed by a green draped cloth, adorned with a yellow shawl, white and red flower garlands and a beaded necklace. A heap of red-painted stones or offerings surrounds the base, with a small brass lamp and a small metal vessel in front. A single standing man on the right, bare-chested with a blue and white dhoti and silver beaded necklace and bangles, presses his palms together in namaskar, facing the shrine. A dirt path and low walls frame the scene.

A barefoot person in an orange-saffron dhoti and upper cloth with a blue-and-red sash stands with palms pressed together in namaste on a dark tiled path beside a large banyan tree. In the left background, a shrine arch with silver-toned trim frames a black stone deity murti draped in white cloth with a garland of orange and yellow flowers. Beside it, a red-painted mound and small oil lamps or offering dishes sit on a stone base, with green foliage behind.

A barefoot man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaskar before an outdoor shrine under trees. Behind him, a black stone deity murti seated on a pedestal wears a yellow cloth and yellow flower garlands, framed by a white arched stone niche with a green backdrop. In front of the murti, a large mound of red offerings, possibly kumkum or red flowers, sits on a black-and-white bordered platform. The man has a tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha-style mala at his neck; he is not identifiable from the image, so his role is that of a devotee.

Outdoors among trees, a man stands barefoot on a black stone platform with palms pressed together in namaskar. He wears a rust-orange dhoti with yellow borders over a bare chest, and a beaded mala hangs around his neck. Beside him a shrine holds a black stone deity murti dressed in yellow cloth with a yellow head covering and red garlands, set in an arched white frame with a green curtain. In front of the shrine is a mound of red offerings, with a small stone seat and a small rug on the ground. The man is a devotee at the shrine, and the page indicates a person's presence but his appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity.
