A figure in a saffron-orange robe bows deeply with head down before a stone shrine raised on a grey granite platform. Behind the altar stands a deity murti dressed in a violet-purple cloth with garlands of yellow and orange flowers draped across it, with brass lamps and vessels arranged on the platform. A small seated figure in orange sits beside the deity. An ornate gold-and-red carved throne with lion-head arms stands in the foreground, with a brass urn and a silver tray. Red-and-white striped pillars, orange-painted walls and a corrugated roof frame the open-sided hall.

A deity murti in a purple garment, adorned with garlands of marigolds and a red-and-gold crown, sits on a grey stone platform behind silver lamps and brass lamps. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a bare upper body stands bent forward in a deep bow, hands together, on a small woven mat at the right of the platform. In the foreground an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and an orange cloth sits empty, with a brass kalasha-type vessel nearby. Orange and white striped walls and a tin roof frame the open-air hall with palm trees behind.

A figure in an orange saffron robe bows with hands folded before a golden shrine in an open pavilion with grey stone pillars and red-and-white striped side walls. Inside the shrine stands a deity murti dressed in a purple cloth with a golden crown, decorated with red and yellow garlands. Golden lamps, brass pots and a golden seat with lion-headed arms sit in front, with a tray of offerings and a small kalasha on a brown table in the foreground. The figure is seen from behind and the face is not visible, so identity is uncertain; the figure is a devotee or priest performing darshan and puja.

In front, an orange-upholstered chair with an orange cushion and a small orange footstool sit on an orange mat, with a wooden tray of items beside them. Orange curtains hang from the pillars, and red-and-white painted walls and palm trees form the background. A woman's gold-toned figurine appears in pink near the shrine.

A figure in orange robes bows low with head down at the stone base of a shrine, facing a carved stone platform. Behind it stands a deity murti pair decorated with marigold and yellow garlands; the central figure holds a trident and a rudraksha-style mala, and the figure beside it wears a red-and-gold crown. Brass puja vessels, a kettle-like pot and small lamps sit on a white-draped altar, with red curtains framing the scene. A gilded throne-like chair with red cushion appears at lower left. The bowing person is seen from behind and the orange-clad figure's identity is not clear from appearance, so this is marked unsure. A man in a pink shirt stands at right in the background.
