A red carpet runs down the centre of an empty temple hall between steel railings toward a shrine with a golden arch framing a deity murti. Two people stand at the far edges near the shrine, one in white with a camera; a red cloth hangs to the left and dark banners hang from the ceiling. No identifiable a person is visible in the scene.

A photograph of an empty covered hall leading toward a shrine with a red carpet runner down the centre, flanked by metal railings. At the far end, an ornate golden arched niche frames a deity murti: a seated form with a crown and ornaments, and a consort beside it, draped in cloth, with a white and blue cloth drape on the seat. A small offering or puja setup sits in front on a stone platform. Red pillars and red-walled sides frame the space, with a row of windows and empty chairs along the right. No people are visible.

A photograph taken down a long narrow aisle lined with dark metal railings and a red carpet runway leading toward a shrine. At the far end sits a golden-framed altar with a seated deity murti in yellow and purple drapery, garlanded with red and orange flowers, beside a small blue and gold object and oil lamps on a stone plinth. Red cloth hangings frame the shrine. Silhouetted figures stand at the left edge of the aisle, partially visible, with no clearly identifiable faces.

A photograph of a temple interior with a long red carpet leading toward a golden shrine. A single person in a dark silhouette walks away from the camera down the carpet between metal railings. Behind him, two large deity murti stand under a golden arch, one adorned with a red and gold crown and marigold garlands, the other in a blue and white sari-like garment with floral garlands. A smaller figure in red and gold garland stands to the right. Red drapes hang on the left and right posts, and a bell is visible at upper left.

A dim covered walkway with a dark red carpet runs toward a shrine lit by a warm glow. Inside the shrine, large brightly coloured deity murti stand together, one in red and gold and one in blue with gold ornaments, flanked by red curtains and a small altar. A single woman in dark clothing walks along the carpet toward the shrine, and two or three other people stand near the right side in light and dark clothing. Metal railings line both sides of the path, and hanging cylindrical banners decorate the ceiling area. The scene is quiet and largely shadowed.

Interior view down a red-carpeted aisle lined with steel railings toward a shrine. At the end, a painted deity murti pair with gold crowns, ornate red and orange garments and a golden arch stands behind a red-draped altar. A small figure in orange sits at the base of the altar near a trident-like ritual object. Two people stand at the right side, one in white clothing, and a figure in orange is partly visible at the far right. A teal cloth backdrop and red columns frame the shrine.

A photograph of a temple shrine seen down a red-carpeted aisle flanked by metal railings. At the far end sits a golden-framed shrine with a deity murti of a seated goddess and a companion figure, adorned with red and orange garlands, a yellow backdrop and a golden kalasha-like ornament at the front. A person in a dark robe bows low before the shrine at its base, and a woman in a white sari sits in the right foreground near the railing. Red and white painted walls and green foliage frame the scene.
