A photograph of a temple sanctum with a red carpet aisle leading toward a large golden shrine. Two gilded deity murtis are seated together on a pink and blue draped platform, one with four arms, a golden crown and a yellow-orange garment, the other with dark hair and a red-white beaded necklace; both are adorned with marigold and red flower garlands. A smaller figure in an orange turban and saffron robe sits before them, and a standing statue in orange clothing with a red headcloth stands at the right beside a blue curtain. A white marble lingam-like object sits on a stone pedestal in front. Wooden pews line both sides of the aisle. No living people are clearly visible apart from a partially shown figure at the left edge and a dark silhouette at the right edge.

Dim photograph of a temple shrine seen from behind a line of silhouetted devotees standing along metal railings on a red carpet. At the far end a golden-framed deity murti pair is decorated with yellow and red garments, garlands and ornaments, flanked by brass lamps and a small kalasha-like offering on a stone plinth. Orange curtains hang at the sides beneath a corrugated roof with ceiling fans, and a robed figure stands at right beside a table. Greenery and a red-and-white railing frame the open-sided shrine.

Photograph of a temple hall interior with a central red carpeted aisle leading to a shrine. The shrine holds large deity murtis, a larger figure in red and gold with a crown and a smaller figure in orange-yellow, draped in orange and gold fabric and decorated with strings of flowers and garlands. Tall ornamental pillars and white-and-red striped drapes frame the shrine, with a hanging chandelier-style light and a cloth-covered ceiling above. On the left edge a single seated man in white ritual clothes sits at a small table. Metal railings line the aisle. Green plants are visible through the open sides of the hall.

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 inside an open-sided temple pavilion with a corrugated roof and iron trusses. At the centre stands a shrine with a red-draped backdrop and a deity murti of two figures seated together, decorated with yellow and multicoloured garlands and flower offerings at its base. Orange curtains hang at the sides and white stone pillars frame the altar. In the foreground, a man with dark hair wears a white garment with a yellow shawl and walks toward the shrine, while other people in white and yellow shawls stand along the railings on either side. The people in the picture are devotees, and the figures on the altar are statues.

A silhouetted figure in a long dark garment walks down a red-carpeted central aisle toward a shrine inside a temple hall with metal railings on both sides. At the far end, a pair of deity murti sit on a raised pedestal before a pink backdrop and gold arch, one wearing a golden crown and orange cloth with white and orange garlands, the other wearing a dark crown with a long black braid and red-and-yellow flower garlands. To the right stands a painted figure in red and orange robes with a red head covering against a blue curtain. Ceiling fans, lamps and an iron roof frame are visible overhead. The walker is the only physical person; the statues and painted figure are not counted.

Photograph of a temple shrine with a red carpet runner leading between polished metal railings toward a golden-framed altar. Behind the altar a large gilded deity murti with a trident and an orange turban sits beside a consort figure, both draped in orange and garlanded. In front, a seated shrine figure in a teal cloth is adorned with green and pink garlands. A young man in a white dhoti sits on the floor at the left, tending ritual vessels and a small oil lamp on a stone platform.
