A man with long swept-back dark hair stands outdoors in a wooded area, palms pressed together in prayer at his chest, eyes lowered. He is bare-chested, wearing a peach-coloured dhoti and a matching draped shawl edged in gold, with a beaded necklace and gold armlet. Before him is a black stone deity murti seated in a white arched niche, draped with a red cloth and garlanded with yellow and red flowers, with a green backdrop behind it. A large heap of red offerings lies in front of the shrine among trees and dry ground. The man's appearance with long hair, gold adornments and draped peach clothing is a compatible presentation, so this may be a person, shown in devotional prayer before the deity.

A man with long swept-back dark hair stands at right with palms pressed together in namaste, eyes lowered, in an outdoor shrine setting. He is bare-chested and wears an orange-red rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with a saffron-and-yellow dhoti or wrap around the waist and gold bangles on his upper arm and wrist. In front of him is a black deity murti with multiple raised arms, seated and draped in cream and gold cloth, set in an arched white stone niche with a blue backdrop. Piles of red offerings or stones lie around the base, with a small stone bench and a plaque nearby, and trees and dry ground fill the background. The man's appearance with long hair, rudraksha mala, gold necklace and saffron-orange clothing is consistent with Swamiji (probable), shown here in prayer before the murti.

A man in saffron-orange garments with a white forehead band and beaded necklaces stands at right with palms pressed together in prayer. Red mats lie on the ground at lower left, and a green-lidded plastic container sits at right.

Outdoors under trees, a bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair stands at right with palms pressed together in prayer before a shrine. He wears a white jasmine garland with red and purple flowers, gold bangles, and an orange saffron shawl draped over his shoulders. Behind him, another person in orange is partly visible. At left, a stone shrine arch framed with garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers holds a dark deity murti draped in orange cloth. A heap of red kumkum or flower offerings lies at its base, with a small wooden stool or platform before it. The setting is a dry, sandy clearing with bare earth and leafy trees.

A photograph of an outdoor shrine scene. A standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha-style waist cord, bare upper arm with gold bangles, and a white forehead mark stands at left with palms pressed together in prayer, facing a large black stone deity murti. The murti has four arms holding attributes, wears a green cloth and a red-and-green garland, and sits on a dark pedestal; a yellow cloth backdrop surrounds it within an ornate silver-toned arch. In front is a red-painted rock-like base with a brass bell and a small inscribed plaque. Trees and a bare ground courtyard fill the background.

A standing man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, bare-chested, with a gold necklace and armlets, performs namaskar with palms pressed together before a dark stone deity murti in a white arched niche with an orange curtain. Red flower offerings are heaped around a black circular base; a small brass bell and a lamp sit nearby, with trees and a red-carpeted stone platform in an outdoor setting. Visible cues are consistent with a person presence in devotional worship, with a hair knot and rudraksha-style gold ornaments.
