At the far end, a colourful deity murti stands in an ornate red and gold shrine with pillars and a red curtain. Decorative hanging banners with floral and bird motifs in orange, red and blue hang from the ceiling, and framed pictures are mounted on the side walls. No one is identifiable as a person here.

A covered hall with a corrugated roof and tall decorative cylindrical banners with floral patterns and fringed tassels hanging overhead. A red carpet runs down the centre between steel railings toward a shrine at the far end, where a deity murti with a red and gold backdrop is visible. Two people in plain clothes walk away from the camera along the carpet, one in a dark wrap and one in light clothing, while a third figure stands near the left wall. No identifiable a person candidate is clearly visible; the figures are too distant and shadowed to assess.

Two people in plain ochre or saffron-toned robes walk away from the camera along the carpet, one carrying a cloth bag. Stainless steel railings line both sides of the walkway. Colourful woven and embroidered hanging panels with orange tassels hang from the ceiling beams, and small tables and white plastic chairs stand against the side walls.

Several dim figures, including a person in dark clothes near the centre, are visible. No figure can be confidently identified as a person from appearance.

A photograph of a temple sanctum with a red carpet runway between silver railings leading toward a deity murti. Two large figures in red and pink drapery sit on a raised dais, garlanded with marigold and multicolour flower necklaces, backed by gold-leaf arches. A man in a dark brown dhoti and a dark shawl with a rudraksha-style necklace walks down the carpet toward the shrine. Seated figures in saffron-orange robes flank the dais, and a brass bowl sits at the base of the platform. Colourful striped pillars with floral motifs frame the scene, and robed attendants in white stand at the edges.
