A figure in orange robes with a shaved head bows deeply with hands together before a black stone shrine. Inside the shrine, a deity murti in pink and red drapery wears yellow and red marigold garlands and a gold crown, flanked by a second figure and brass oil lamps on the altar ledge. A large gold-and-red ornate chair stands empty in the foreground. Red-and-white striped pillars and a red curtain frame the open mandapa.

A photograph inside a stone-pillared temple shrine. A deity murti in a purple garment, adorned with garlands of marigolds and a red-and-gold crown, sits on a grey stone platform behind silver lamps and brass lamps. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a bare upper body stands bent forward in a deep bow, hands together, on a small woven mat at the right of the platform. In the foreground an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and an orange cloth sits empty, with a brass kalasha-type vessel nearby. Orange and white striped walls and a tin roof frame the open-air hall with palm trees behind.

A photo of a temple shrine with a stone plinth holding a deity murti decorated with orange and yellow garlands, a red and gold crown, and a purple skirt. Brass oil lamps flank the murti. In the foreground a gold and red ornate throne with a red cushion sits beside a gold tray and brass vessels. A man in an orange robe bows deeply with his head lowered before the shrine, standing barefoot on a mat in a covered open hall with a red-and-white striped wall and a hanging orange curtain.

A photograph of a temple shrine with a stone platform and carved stone pillars. A single man in an orange-saffron dhoti and matching upper wrap bows forward at the waist with his hands near the shrine ledge, barefoot on a woven mat. Behind the ledge, a deity murti stands draped in garlands of yellow and orange flowers, with a large white cobra hood arching above it, and brass lamps and offering vessels sit on the altar. Red and white painted walls and a corrugated roof frame the courtyard, with palm trees beyond. The man's face is not visible, so his identity cannot be determined from the image.

A photograph of a stone-pillared shrine open on the sides, with red and white striped walls and draped red curtains. On a raised granite platform sits a deity murti with a crown, draped in blue cloth and garlanded with marigold-type flower strands. Brass oil lamps stand before it. In the foreground a man in an orange-saffron garment, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala around his neck, bows low with hands together on a small mat. A banana plant grows at the right edge.

A barefoot man in a saffron-orange dhoti and matching upper cloth bows forward at the edge of a stone shrine platform, hands at his sides, head lowered. Beside him, orange curtains hang from red-and-white pillars. On the raised stone altar stand brass oil lamps and a gold-coloured vessel, with a white figure and a deity murti with a decorated gold face, dressed in yellow and blue cloth and garlanded with yellow-orange marigold strands. Brass lamps and a metal railing with garlands are visible behind, under a rain-dampened covered courtyard with palm trees beyond.

A figure in saffron-orange robes stands barefoot on a doormat with hands folded in prayer before a stone shrine containing two deity murtis draped in garlands; the central deity wears a red crown and holds a trident-like weapon, and a golden kalasha-style lamp stand and brass oil lamps sit on the granite platform, with a red and white striped temple wall and a red curtain nearby.

A figure in orange robes bends forward at the edge of an open temple pavilion, facing a granite shrine with deity murtis draped in marigold garlands and yellow cloth. Brass lamps and a brass kalasha-style vessel with flowers stand on the stone platform. In front, an orange-upholstered chair with an orange cushion and a small orange footstool sit on an orange mat, with a wooden tray of items beside them. Orange curtains hang from the pillars, and red-and-white painted walls and palm trees form the background. A woman's gold-toned figurine appears in pink near the shrine.
