Photograph at dusk of an open-sided stone shrine on the left, housing a white and gold deity murti seated on a throne with a crown and gold ornaments, with a red-and-gold drape hanging beside it and brass oil lamps set on the platform. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers walks beside two figures in saffron-orange robes; the central figure with long dark hair wears an orange garment and gestures with his hand, and the figure on the right with white hair and a beard wears orange robes and a beaded mala. Several more robed people in orange and white stand under multicoloured umbrellas in the background, beside a grey block wall and palm trees.

Dusk worship at an open stone shrine with red velvet curtains tied to its pillars. Two painted deity murti sit inside, one seated with a crown and garlands and one standing beside with a pale face and red-orange garment. Brass oil lamps and offering plates stand on a white-draped platform in front. A figure in saffron-orange robes with long hair bows with joined hands toward the shrine on the left, while a man in white dhoti with an orange shawl stands at right holding a brass plate. Another person in white stands in the background near a tree.

Evening photo at a temple-style shrine with a richly carved stone arch and golden torana framing a deity murti dressed in pink and gold with marigold garlands, beside a brass oil lamp. In front stands an empty ornate cream-and-gold throne with an orange cushion on a white dais, flanked by red-topped pedestals with offerings. To the right, a man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands, with a dhoti-clad man in white beside him. Two women in white saris and white tops stand to the far right near an orange curtain.

Night photograph of a small white marble shrine with carved pillars and red velvet curtains draped at the sides. Inside stand two painted deity murti figures, one in orange-red with a crown and ornate necklaces, the other in red with a tall crown and jewelled ornaments. Brass lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and offerings sit on a white-draped altar. In the foreground a figure in orange robes with an orange shawl bends toward the altar, while a second man in white dhoti and orange shawl stands with palms pressed together holding a tray. A third person in white stands further back near the shrine. The scene suggests puja or aarti at the shrine.
