Interior of a temple hall with a corrugated roof and ceiling fans, decorated with tall striped pillars in blue, yellow and red with white floral motifs and hanging green leaf festoons. A long red carpet runs down the center, scattered with petals, lined by metal railings. Devotees in white and pastel saris and white dhotis walk and stand along the route; a woman in a magenta sari and a woman in a red-and-white sari are prominent at the railing, with a man in a red shirt and others in white. On the right, side shrines hold deity murtis with garlands and a painted lion-like figure on a yellow-draped altar. Printed panels and framed photographs line the walls.

A covered walkway lined with devotees who stand with hands pressed in anjali. A red carpet runs down the centre, and a bare-headed man in orange robes with a saffron shawl walks away from the camera. Behind him, a figure in an orange saree walks alongside. Devotees on both sides wear white dhotis and kurtas, and women wear sarees in yellow, orange, red and cream. Hanging decorations of palm-leaf style and red-and-white painted pillars line the ceiling. Framed panels with photographs and captions are mounted on the walls, and a mat strip runs along the right side. The figure in orange has an appearance that is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.

Indoor photograph of a crowded hall with orange-painted walls, a corrugated metal roof and decorative painted pillars with colourful motifs. A figure in an orange robe with long dark hair and a yellow-and-white flower garland stands at centre, reaching out to touch the forehead of a devotee in white. Around them, devotees with folded hands wear white and cream clothes; a bald man in an orange shawl stands at left and another in orange robes stands beside him. Wall notices and framed pictures line the back wall.

A crowded indoor hall under a corrugated metal roof with hanging ceiling fans and a wall-mounted speaker. Many women in white and cream sarees with coloured borders, plus a woman in purple and another in yellow-and-orange floral dress, mostly wear marigold garlands and hold hands together in prayer or stand with eyes closed. A young girl in an orange top stands among them. Men in white shirts stand along the back wall near framed photographs, and a small deity figure sits on a shelf at the right edge. Devotees appear to be waiting in a queued crowd.

Crowded indoor hall decorated with a strung garland of green leaves and hanging paper lanterns in yellow, orange, blue and green. Many devotees in white dhotis and kurtas or saris move through the space; several women wear saris in maroon, rust and gold, and a man in front wears an orange shawl. At right, a golden kalasha-style vessel and floral decorations stand near a deity shrine. A woman in white with a yellow border bends forward at lower left, holding a green stick. Walls show framed pictures.

On the right, women in white saris, one in a blue-trimmed sari and one with a white flower in her hair, look toward the shrine. A child stands at the lower left edge.

A photograph inside a covered pavilion with a metal-frame roof, decorated with green mango-leaf festoons and white flower sprays hanging from above. Painted cylindrical pillars in red, blue and orange with floral motifs line the hall. A long red carpet runs down the centre between metal railings hung with marigold and pink flower garlands. Many people stand along both sides in white clothes, several women in saris, some holding bags, with figures in the far background near an open entrance. Devotees stand in orderly queues toward a distant ritual area.
