Outdoor temple scene at a shaded shrine. A woman with long dark curly hair, wearing an orange-saffron garment with a yellow border, stands at a large black stone Ganesha murti, touching it with a flat golden-yellow object. Behind her, a young man in a white dhoti and white shirt with an orange shawl holds up a multicoloured fringed umbrella over the scene. Golden ornate arch surrounds the murti. Other men in white and orange clothes stand nearby; at the left, seated figures with marigold garlands and offerings of flowers and red cloth. Red-and-white painted shrine borders and a small black lingam appear at the right, under green trees.

Outdoor shrine with black stone Ganesha murti seated left under a golden arch, draped in white dhoti and yellow-orange shawl, with marigold and red garlands and orange-red headcloth. Beside it, several dark murtis are adorned with orange headcloths, garlands and gold-trimmed clothing, set within gold arches and red-and-white striped plinths with name plaques. A bald man in saffron-orange robes stands barefoot with hands joined in prayer before the shrine, facing the murtis. A woman in orange sari-style garment stands at right near the deities, and a pink-clad small figure sits on a plinth. Green trees and a potted plant frame the scene.

Outdoor temple shrine with golden arched niches framing black stone deity murtis. A central figure with long hair, tripundra, and a rudraksha mala stands on a mat on a paved path in front of a shrine with a trident and orange-draped murti. A second robed man in orange stands beside him holding a small offering. Red-and-white striped bases, potted palms and trees surround the shrine, and a dark board with Tamil text is mounted at the base.

Outdoor temple courtyard shaded by trees, with a gold-framed arched shrine housing a dark deity murti garlanded with flowers. A central figure with long hair, a rudraksha mala and saffron robe walks barefoot along a striped mat toward the shrine. Robed attendants in orange and white stand around; one on the left presses palms together, another in white holds a plate of flowers at right. Smaller gold arches and dark deity statues flank the shrine on either side, and a potted palm sits in the foreground.

Outdoor shrine scene with three golden arched niches holding black stone deity murti garlanded with fresh flower malas. The central niche shows a deity with a trident and orange crown beside a goddess figure. A standing man in a saffron-orange dhoti and matching shawl, with long dark hair and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace, stands on a striped mat before the shrine. To his right, a man in white dhoti and shawl holds a tray with offerings, and a small figure in pink sits near the base. Potted plants, a red and white painted plinth, and green trees surround the shrine. Appearance-based probable identification: a person stands in saffron with long hair and rudraksha-style beads, but this is uncertain. The image is a photograph of a shrine with people visible.

Outdoor temple-garden scene under a large banyan tree with hanging aerial roots. On the right, a dark stone deity murti of a multi-armed figure seated on a pedestal is adorned with a garland of white flowers and a long beaded garland, with an orange-and-gold headdress; a plaque sits on the pedestal. In the foreground, a woman in a rust-red and gold-bordered sari with a garland stands with hands folded in prayer. Beside her, a man in an orange-and-gold dhoti and garland stands. Several people in saffron and orange robes stand behind a metal railing, and a smaller black shivalinga with yellow marigold garlands sits at the base near red-draped stone.

Outdoors in a leafy compound, a shrine with gilded arched frames holds dark stone deity murtis garlanded with flower garlands and draped in white and red cloth. In front, a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands on a mat, facing the shrine. Beside him a bare-chested man in white dhoti offers a ritual gesture toward the murtis, while two other men in saffron stand to the left with their hands folded. A tripod-mounted camera is partly visible at left, and a potted palm sits on the path. A black plaque with Tamil text sits on a red-and-white base.
