A photograph inside a stone temple chamber at Angkor Wat. A large dark stone statue of a multi-armed deity stands at centre, draped in an orange and gold cloth, with a tall crown-like headdress and garlands under a red and green canopy. In front is a round offering table with lit white candles, small green and gold decorated offerings, flower garlands, a brass bowl and incense sticks. On the left, a bare-chested man with long dark hair, orange cloth draped over his shoulder and a red tilak on his forehead stands near the table. On the right, a partly visible person in white holds incense sticks.

Inside a stone temple chamber at Angkor Wat, a large carved multi-armed deity statue stands behind an altar draped in an orange-gold cloth, with a golden base and multiple arms. Offerings are arranged on the altar: bowls of food, a tray, a conch-like vessel, and two green-and-red decorated kalasha-style pots. A bald man in white ritual clothing on the right holds lit incense sticks and smiles. On the left, a person in an orange saffron garment stands with long dark hair seen from behind, and another man in white stands further back. The scene is a puja at the statue.

A photograph of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes standing before a table of offerings at the base of a large multi-armed stone sculpture draped in a gold-and-orange silk cloth. The table holds brass plates, a small bowl, a tall display of colourful paper-and-flower decorations, lit candles and incense sticks. A uniformed attendant in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at left. The setting appears to be an ancient stone temple interior with weathered carved walls. The man's distinctive long swept hair and saffron robes are visible, but his face is not clearly shown, so identity is uncertain.
