A photograph inside a temple shrine with stone pillars and a red curtain, palm trees visible through the open walls. Two men in white clothes sit on a dark stone platform with their palms extended toward a small brass oil lamp burning on the ledge; the man on the left wears dark-rimmed glasses and a white shirt with a red wristband, and the man on the right wears green-rimmed glasses and a white shirt with a red thread at his neck. Behind them, a bare-chested priest in white on the far left holds a silver bowl near a deity murti adorned with garlands and an orange cloth. Brass lamps stand beside the altar, and a white-clad figure sits at the right edge.

A photograph inside a temple sanctum showing a woman in an orange and white sari bowing forward with her forehead touching a tall ornate brass lamp stand. Beside her, a man in a plain white shirt and dhoti stands with hands joined near the lamp. Behind them, golden and brass ritual fixtures and a dark wooden or stone wall form the setting. The scene suggests a lamp puja or devotional offering, with the lamp flame visible at the top of the stand.

A four-panel collage of temple rituals at what appears to be a Bidadi temple. Top left, a priest in white clothes sits beside an ornate shrine with a decorated deity murti and garlands. Top right, a man in a white shirt with a yellow shawl performs a puja, holding a lamp over a small altar with brass vessels. Bottom left, a man in a white shirt and a woman in white sari receive a ritual offering from a priest. Bottom right, a seated woman in white and a man in white perform puja with brass items and flowers on a tray. Photographs are arranged in a grid.

A man in white ritual clothing leans over a black stone abhishekam basin in a temple, pouring water from a brass pot onto a golden shivalinga-style object. He wears thin-rimmed glasses, a dark rudraksha mala, and a visitor badge on his chest. Behind him, a woman in a red sari sits near the basin. To the left stand brass bells, a brass cup and a small wooden table decorated with a yellow flower garland. Carved grey granite pillars frame the scene.

A temple abhishekam scene at a stone shrine. A gold-coloured deity murti seated on a throne, adorned with flower garlands in red, yellow and white, is central. In front, a woman in a brown sari bends and pours liquid from a metal vessel into a large dark stone basin. A man in an orange-saffron robe stands beside her, and several young men in white shirts and dark trousers hold steel pots and cups in a line on the left. A small brass lamp and brass pots sit on the wet stone floor, and a stone-carved wall frames the scene.
