A photograph of a devotee with long dreadlocked hair and a full beard, bare-shouldered and wearing a saffron-orange cloth draped over the body and a red-and-brown beaded mala, standing with hands clasped in front of him, facing a richly adorned deity murti. The murti is decorated with layered garlands in red, orange, yellow, white and green, and a gold-toned arched backdrop frames it. Pink flower garlands hang at the base. To the left, a second figure in white ritual dress with a yellow-and-white garland stands beside a seated figure, and a striped red cloth covers the floor. Warm evening lighting and colourful textile panels appear in the background.

A man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing a rust-orange dhoti with a matching orange shawl, a rudraksha-style beaded necklace and a red wristband, stands at left with palms pressed together in anjali before a richly decorated deity murti. The murti is draped in green, red, yellow, white and pink garlands with marigolds and a flower-laden tiered frame, and a gold-and-green sari-like cloth covers its base. In front stands a silver vessel with a tray of offerings and an oil lamp. Background shows pillars, a standing statue and a hall with a shrine. Appears to be a puja or darshan at a temple setting.

A photograph of a shirtless man with long dreadlocked hair and a full beard, wearing a rust-orange cloth wrapped at the waist and a rudraksha mala across the chest, offering pink and white flowers with his right hand toward a richly decorated deity murti. The murti is adorned with garlands of orange, red, green and white flowers, a crown and gold jewellery, and stands within a gilded arch. Behind them are colourful textile hangings in teal, yellow and red, with a golden altar frame to the left. The scene suggests a temple puja with floral offerings.

A photograph of a bare-chested man in a rust-orange dhoti and matching shawl, with long dreadlocked hair and a rudraksha mala, performing a devotional gesture with palms pressed together and face bowed toward a richly decorated deity form. The murti is draped in layers of green, yellow, red and pink garlands with pink lotus flowers and gold ornaments. In front of it stands a silver bowl on a red-and-white striped mat, with an oil lamp beside it. A dark-robed figure with a shawl stands in the background near a black statue, and another person's hand holds a tray at left. Pillars and white cabinets frame the hall. This looks like a puja in progress.

A barefoot man with long dark hair and a short beard stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra before a decorated deity murti in a temple hall at night. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style cloth and a saffron-brown shawl over his bare chest, with a rudraksha-style mala around his neck and a red sacred thread on his wrist. The murti is draped with garlands of green leaves, orange and yellow marigolds, white flowers and pink blossoms, and a silver crown is visible on its head. Beside it stands a brass vessel and a lit oil lamp on the floor, with a gold-and-purple cloth arrangement to the right. Behind them are white pillars, glass-fronted cabinets, framed pictures on the wall and a dark bronze statue.

A man with long dreadlocked hair and a white tilak on his forehead stands with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed, in front of an ornate yellow and gold deity murti with a yellow face and painted eyes. He wears a maroon-red cloth wrap, gold armlets and a gold waist chain, and a pink and white flower garland hangs around his neck. Coloured lights and a draped cloth canopy appear in the background. The man is a physical person present in the scene; whether he is the figure described on the page is an appearance-based judgement only, and the figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone. Visible deity murti in a festival or temple setting.
