Interior of a temple hall with a corrugated roof and ceiling fans, decorated with tall striped pillars in blue, yellow and red with white floral motifs and hanging green leaf festoons. A long red carpet runs down the center, scattered with petals, lined by metal railings. Devotees in white and pastel saris and white dhotis walk and stand along the route; a woman in a magenta sari and a woman in a red-and-white sari are prominent at the railing, with a man in a red shirt and others in white. On the right, side shrines hold deity murtis with garlands and a painted lion-like figure on a yellow-draped altar. Printed panels and framed photographs line the walls.

A covered walkway lined with devotees who stand with hands pressed in anjali. A red carpet runs down the centre, and a bare-headed man in orange robes with a saffron shawl walks away from the camera. Behind him, a figure in an orange saree walks alongside. Devotees on both sides wear white dhotis and kurtas, and women wear sarees in yellow, orange, red and cream. Hanging decorations of palm-leaf style and red-and-white painted pillars line the ceiling. Framed panels with photographs and captions are mounted on the walls, and a mat strip runs along the right side. The figure in orange has an appearance that is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.

A photograph inside a covered pavilion with a metal-frame roof, decorated with green mango-leaf festoons and white flower sprays hanging from above. Painted cylindrical pillars in red, blue and orange with floral motifs line the hall. A long red carpet runs down the centre between metal railings hung with marigold and pink flower garlands. Many people stand along both sides in white clothes, several women in saris, some holding bags, with figures in the far background near an open entrance. Devotees stand in orderly queues toward a distant ritual area.

A photograph inside a covered temple hall with a corrugated roof and exposed steel beams, decorated with banana plant stalks with green leaves hanging from the rafters and along the walkway railings. Rows of seated devotees, many in white clothing, fill both sides of a central aisle leading toward a deity murti richly decorated with garlands and ornaments, framed by pink and red curtains. Colourful painted pillars with orange tassels line the hall. Standing figures in orange and white clothing are visible near the right side, along with a small child in the foreground.

A crowded temple darshan line moves along a red carpet toward a gilded shrine under a white canopy with orange curtains and banana plants. Two deity murtis stand at the centre, adorned with flower garlands and dressed in red and purple, with a golden arch behind them. Devotees in white dhotis and shirts stand at a metal railing on the left, many with white flower garlands. On the right, women in white saris, one in a blue-trimmed sari and one with a white flower in her hair, look toward the shrine. A child stands at the lower left edge.

Crowded indoor hall decorated with a strung garland of green leaves and hanging paper lanterns in yellow, orange, blue and green. Many devotees in white dhotis and kurtas or saris move through the space; several women wear saris in maroon, rust and gold, and a man in front wears an orange shawl. At right, a golden kalasha-style vessel and floral decorations stand near a deity shrine. A woman in white with a yellow border bends forward at lower left, holding a green stick. Walls show framed pictures.
