A man in a saffron-orange robe stands smiling and waving beside a gilded deity murti in a white tent shrine. The murti, adorned with a tall crown, a silver-and-gold ornamented body and a multicoloured flower garland draped over the arch, stands under a gold arched frame. Brass oil lamps with bird-shaped tops flank the shrine, and a small silver kalasha sits draped in flowers on the right. The man has long dark hair and wears an orange shawl over orange clothing, with a rudraksha mala visible; his appearance is consistent with the candidate, but the page does not state he is present, so identity is uncertain. Mixed-colour garlands and red-and-gold cloth cover the altar area.

A standing man in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair stands at the lower left, smiling and raising one hand in greeting, in front of a large golden shrine arch framing a black deity murti with a tall crown, white urdhva pundra marks and a dark face, draped in multicoloured garland strands and a gold-and-silver ornamented garment. Brass lamps with bird-shaped finials flank the shrine, a small silver figure and offering items sit on a red cloth below, and a white-draped stand with a garland and a metal vessel appears at the right under a white tent canopy. A small garlanded deity figure is visible at the left edge.

A photograph inside a white tent set up as a temple shrine. At the centre stands a large black deity murti, a Vishnu-form figure with a tall conical crown, white urdhva-pundra style markings on the face, and a white and gold ornamented chest, draped in a gold-embroidered orange cloth and wrapped in garlands of multicoloured flowers and a green garland. It is framed by an ornate gold arch with bird motifs. To the right is a brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped top, a small kalasha-like metal vessel on the floor, and a small deity figure on an orange cloth. To the left, a second decorated arch with multicoloured garlands frames a seated figure. In the foreground at left, a person in a saffron orange robe with a long rudraksha mala stands beside the shrine with hands together in front of the body.

A photograph of a temple-style ritual under a white tent with gold-painted pillars. A man with long dark hair and a bare upper torso, wearing a saffron-orange cloth draped over his shoulder, reaches up with his right hand to touch a tall ornate crown on a black stone deity murti. The murti wears a decorated golden-and-red crown with embroidered patterns, an ornate jewelled collar, and a red-and-orange flower garland. A second murti beside it wears a similar crown and a maroon cloth.

A photograph of a ceremony inside a white tent beside a dark stone deity murti dressed in ornate gold-and-red jewelled adornments, garlands of orange and yellow flowers, and a red cloth backdrop beneath a gilded arch. A bare-chested man with long dark hair and an orange-saffron dhoti wrapped around his lower body reaches up with both hands to place a tall red-and-white patterned crown on the murti's head. In the foreground at lower right, the back of another person's head is visible. The gilded arch shows carved floral and ornamental relief. The setting appears to be a temporary tent-based ceremony, consistent with abhishekam or deity dressing.
