Interior of a white temple hall with polished reddish floor, arched pillars decorated with red and yellow garlands and colourful painted columns. Four people stand in prayer: a man in white shirt and trousers at left, a woman in red-and-gold sari beside a standing figure in saffron-coloured garment, and a bare-chested man in white dhoti with gold border and a white-clad elderly man at centre-right. A framed picture of a deity garlanded with red flowers rests on a wooden bench at right, and a hanging bell hangs from the ceiling. Oil lamps and a small brass item sit on the left platform.

A photograph inside a white temple hall with polished pink-tinted floor reflecting the light, white pillars decorated with painted blue and red bands, and garlands strung across the openings. In the foreground, a man in white ceremonial clothes stands with hands joined near the left edge, while two women in red-and-gold saris stand nearby. Centre right, a man with his back to the camera wears a white dhoti with gold border and a white shirt, standing before a framed portrait on a cushioned wooden seat decorated with a red garland; the portrait shows a deity figure. A brass bell hangs from the ceiling at left, and a shrine with curtains and deity murti is visible at right. The man in front wears white and no identifiable saffron or ornate cues, so the appearance does not establish any candidate.

Several men stand in the hall: one in a white shirt and white dhoti on the left, a bare-chested man in a red-and-gold wrap and dhoti in the middle-left, a bare-chested man wearing a white dhoti with gold border at centre, and an older man in white kurta and dhoti near a shrine. A garlanded deity murti sits on a decorated throne-like platform in a framed shrine, with curtains and marigold garlands around the doorways. The ceiling has ornate plaster medallions and fans.

Two men in white dhotis and shirts with yellow shawls sit on the marble floor of a white temple hall performing a homa at a small brick fire pit with a lit flame. The man on the left faces left and gestures with his hand over brass plates of offerings and flowers; the man on the right sits on a yellow stool holding a ladle over the fire. Behind them stands a dark deity murti in a green sari draped with a red cloth, beside a striped tiger-skin seat and a ceiling fan.

On the left, a man in white dhoti with a yellow shawl and rudraksha mala holds a brass oil lamp and stands before a row of brass kalashas set along a wet stone floor. Beside him, a second man in white dhoti and yellow shawl stands on a raised step with hands folded in prayer, facing a golden deity murti seated on a lotus base and draped in orange cloth. In front is a black stone shivalingam on a round yoga-peetha basin, with red flower petals scattered nearby. A red curtain hangs behind, and a tiled roof and green trees show through an open pillared doorway.
