A man in a saffron-yellow dhoti and matching shoulder cloth walks beneath a canopy of banana leaves and a metal roof beside a bronze deity murti with a trident. He wears a dark rudraksha-style mala necklace and bangles. The bronze deity figure with a raised trident and a crowned head stands on a pedestal to the right. Behind them, a palm tree, a red brick wall, and a white vehicle are visible.

A photograph of a man standing on a paved walkway beside a metal deity murti in a temple pavilion. He wears a yellow dhoti and a yellow shawl draped over one shoulder with a reddish border, a long dark rudraksha mala around his neck, and a red tilak on his forehead. His hair is short and he stands barefoot on a raised stone step. The murti beside him, wearing a crown and green and yellow garments, is gripped by the figure's hands holding ornamented objects. Red pillars frame the open pavilion, with trees and a brick wall behind. A red and green mat lies in the foreground. The man is an appearance-based candidate for a person, though his face and the surrounding cues are not distinctive enough to confirm his identity, so he is presented as a devotee in yellow temple attire.

Outdoor temple procession at sunset. A man with long swept-back hair, a red bindi, a multi-strand silver necklace and silver armlets wears a green and yellow silk garment and walks beside a large brass and wooden palanquin-style carriage decorated with red cloth and yellow-orange flower garlands. An attendant in white kurta holds a long wooden ceremonial umbrella with green leaves and orange tassels above the procession. Another attendant in white folds his hands in greeting, and a man in a dark jacket stands behind. Red walls and palm trees frame the scene.

A standing man in an open-air temple courtyard wears a saffron-orange turban and a royal-blue dhoti with an orange-and-gold sash draped over his shoulder and a beaded necklace at his chest. He raises one hand in a blessing gesture while walking past a red-cushioned wooden chair. In the right foreground, a golden-bronze statue of a deity with multiple arms and a crown, wearing a yellow and blue cloth, faces away from the camera. Banana leaves, palms and a grey stone sculpture garden surround the scene, with a small shrine visible at the right edge.

A barefoot man in a yellow dhoti and matching yellow shawl, with a long yellow garland around his neck, stands with hands joined in a temple hall. Behind him a deity murti sits on a raised altar draped in yellow cloth and decorated with red and orange flower garlands. Smaller metal utsava murtis stand on pink and orange cloth in the foreground, including a figure in an orange and gold shawl and two figures in blue and pink dress. Orange walls with white and red striped trim, red curtains, a brass lamp and a kalasha frame the scene, with palm trees visible outside.

A photograph of a man walking outdoors past a covered walkway with hanging saffron and patterned cloth banners. He has swept-back hair, a red bindi and a white tilak, wears a gold multi-strand necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a peach-coloured dhoti with an orange shawl draped over one shoulder. Beside him stand bronze deity murti statues adorned with yellow flower garlands. Palm trees and a red brick wall form the background. Appearance cues are distinctive (swept hair, orange shawl, ornate gold jewellery), and the page names a person for this event, so this is a person in person.

A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck stands with his head bowed on a raised red-and-white stepped platform outdoors. Beside him are golden ratha-style vehicles with a golden lion-shaped mount, a golden kalasha-like figure, and orange-and-gold ceremonial flags and fringed canopies. Coconut palms, orange pennants strung overhead, and dark stone deity murtis lining a courtyard fill the background. No other people are clearly visible.
