A photograph of a temple interior with a red carpet runway between metal railings. A man in white dhoti and shawl with a red waist cloth and a beaded mala walks toward the camera along the carpet. Behind him stands a richly decorated deity shrine with red and gold draped figures adorned with marigold garlands, a kalasha-like offering, and a banana leaf and flower decoration framing the scene. On the right edge, a person in saffron/orange robes with a rudraksha mala walks past the shrine curtains. The setting appears to be a Hindu temple with a deity murti at its centre.

A photograph taken from behind of a single person in a dark orange-red sannyasi robe walking down a red-carpeted aisle toward a large deity murti. The murti is adorned with a thick garland of red and yellow flowers and wears a blue and pink garment, with a gold-framed backdrop and a pink curtain behind it. Flanking stone carvings and small smaller shrine images are visible on the pillars, and orange-red drapes hang on both sides of the aisle. The figure is seen only from the back, so no face is visible; no identity is established from appearance.

In the centre, a man in a red-orange saffron-style dhoti and shawl with a dark rudraksha mala walks barefoot toward the shrine. Behind him, a second man in saffron clothing with a mala and shaved head walks along the right, and a figure in white dhoti with gold border stands at the left edge. At the far end, a large colourful deity murti with multiple arms, a blue-clad figure and a red figure is decorated with garlands under a green and gold arch. Stone pillars, pink drapes and ceiling fans frame the hall.

A barefoot man in a red dhoti and red shawl with gold border walks down a red carpet runner between metal railings toward a shrine. He wears a dark rudraksha mala across his chest and his hair is tied up. Behind him, illuminated deity murtis with yellow and orange garments and garlands sit in an ornate golden shrine with a turquoise backdrop, and a smaller figure in orange stands in a side niche.

A photograph of a temple sanctum with a red carpet runway between silver railings leading toward a deity murti. Two large figures in red and pink drapery sit on a raised dais, garlanded with marigold and multicolour flower necklaces, backed by gold-leaf arches. A man in a dark brown dhoti and a dark shawl with a rudraksha-style necklace walks down the carpet toward the shrine. Seated figures in saffron-orange robes flank the dais, and a brass bowl sits at the base of the platform. Colourful striped pillars with floral motifs frame the scene, and robed attendants in white stand at the edges.

A photograph taken from behind of a single person in a saffron-orange sannyasi-style robe, walking up a red-carpeted aisle between brass handrails toward a temple shrine. The figure's hands are pressed together in prayer at the chest, and the head is shaved. Ahead, a large deity murti is decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands, with a pink and red draped backdrop and red-and-white ornaments flanking the shrine. Red curtains hang at the sides of the frame. The figure's features are not visible, and no identification is made from appearance; the person is shown only as a silhouette in devotional posture.
