Three gold-toned bronze statues stand on a concrete floor in front of a grey cinder-block wall, with a blue bucket and debris nearby. The central figure is a standing deity murti with a tall ornate crown, multiple arms and a jewelled necklace, flanked by two female figures in tall tiered headdresses, necklaces and draped skirts, one holding a hand near her waist. Their metal surfaces are finely engraved. No living people are visible.

Two small brass figurines of female deities stand side by side on lotus-shaped bases against a pale, water-stained wall on a concrete floor. The figure on the left is in a dynamic dance pose, one arm extended and one leg lifted, while the figure on the right stands upright with arms bent and hands near the waist. Both wear tall conical crowns, jewelled necklaces and ornamented belts. No people are visible.

Two gilded bronze standing deity murti figures, each holding a small lamp or cup in one hand, flank two small gilded pyramidal shrine bases in front of a painted gold arch and a grey stylised rocky backdrop. Behind the right figure stands a small red-and-gold painted figurine pair. To the right, woven mats or bamboo sheets lean against a wall beside a wooden tray with a letter tile. No physical people are visible; the scene shows a shrine display of metal murti and decorative backdrop.

Three polished bronze deity figurines stand on a red cloth at a ritual setting. The central figure is a standing male deity with a crown and a raised hand, flanked by a figure with a tall crown and multiple arms, and a slender standing female figure on the left with a tall crown and necklaces. Plastic water bottles, one with a pink cap, sit behind them, and the edge of a person's bare feet is visible at the top. No physical people are clearly shown; the figurines are statues.

Two bronze-coloured metal statues stand side by side in front of a warm golden backdrop with glowing lights and a red banner with partial Tamil-script lettering. The taller figure on the left is a four-armed deity murti with a tall crown, crescent ornament, and a trident-like staff held in one upper hand, with a bow-like shape and a snake-like cord across the body. The figure on the right is a female deity murti in a flowing draped garment with a tiered headdress and a small red mark on the forehead, one hand raised in a blessing pose. Blurred figures in the background suggest a ceremonial hall. No living people are clearly visible in the foreground.

The figure wears a tall conical crown with a large radiating sunburst disc behind it, has elongated arms with bangles, and wears a pleated, ornately engraved dhoti-style lower garment. It stands on a tiered round pedestal over a square base with four ring handles at its corners. No people are visible.

On the left, a multi-armed figure with a trident and a large halo-like backdrop wears a crown and stands on a pedestal. The other three murtis are standing figures with crowns and ornamented jewellery on square pedestals. A wall behind shows a framed devotional picture with a wooden frame, and a blue container sits at the left edge. No people are visible.
