A photograph inside a temple hall with cream walls, red curtains and a lit shrine at the back holding a golden deity murti with a kalasha-like offering in front. Several men in maroon and brown robes with rudraksha malas walk forward across a white marble floor, one wearing a red flower garland. Behind them, men in orange and white dhotis and women in saris stand watching, with hands folded in some cases. No person is clearly identifiable as a person by the visible cues described in the rules, so the candidate is left unsure.

Indoor photo of a procession inside a temple hall lit by warm light. A shaved-headed man in a dark maroon dhoti and matching shawl with a red flower garland walks at the front, followed by monks in maroon and saffron-orange robes, and a man in a white dhoti with gold border. Behind them, women in saris of black, red and green stand and watch. A shrine behind holds a lit deity murti under a painted arch with two figures in ornate gold-and-red dress flanking it. A red curtain hangs at the right edge.

A small crowd stands along the sides, and a red-draped wooden palanquin or seat is at right.
