A photograph of a decorated red wooden cart procession at an outdoor temple setting, with green leaves and shade trees overhead. The cart's canopy is wrapped in garlands of red, pink, orange and white flowers and topped with a carved bird-and-serpent ornament. Inside the cart, a bare-chested man in an orange dhoti sits with white markings on his forehead and body and a beaded mala, seated before a golden-faced deity murti of a goddess with a crown and garlands, with bananas, coconuts and offering plates arranged in front. A large lit-up deity face and ornaments decorate the shrine. A seated devotee in a pink sari stands at the right edge, and a child in yellow is at the lower left, partially visible.

A photograph of a flower-decorated wooden processional shrine on a red wheeled cart. Inside the shrine, a golden deity murti with multiple arms and a large crown sits on a yellow cushion, flanked by a framed printed portrait draped in garlands. A man seated in front, bare-chested with white ash markings on his forehead and arms, wears a saffron-orange dhoti and a long rudraksha mala. He sits with hands joined near banana bunches, a brass bowl of pink flowers, brass lamps and coconuts. Garlands of white and yellow flowers and green leaves frame the shrine. The man is one visible person; the printed portrait and murti are not counted. The scene reflects a Bonalu procession with a thottelu tower and offerings to Yellamma Devi.

A golden deity murti with multiple arms stands within the framed shrine, garlanded and ringed by flower strings. A bare-chested priest in an orange cloth and a rudraksha-style necklace performs offerings with a brass plate of fruit and flowers. A woman in a pink and multicoloured sari stands at right with her hands near the offering. Brass pots, coconuts and a red tiled stair are visible, with two children and a man in grey at the left edge. Trees and a chain-link fence form the backdrop.

A photo of a decorated shrine at an outdoor temple setting during a Bonalu-style celebration. A golden deity murti under an arch is heavily garlanded with orange marigolds, white flowers, pink and red gerbera daisies and green leaves. Before the shrine, a bare-chested priest in orange cloth with rudraksha mala and white markings on his body sits in worship, with offerings of fruit and flowers placed in front. Two red and yellow decorated structures flank the shrine, and a man in white shirt and jeans stands at left. Green trees and a golden temple roof appear behind.

Blurry close-up photograph of a garlanded shrine at a Bonalu celebration, with a large golden lion-faced deity image above and a smaller devi murti in red and white below. Marigold and red flower garlands, green leaves and a pink-and-white floral arrangement decorate the shrine. Two heads of people in the foreground are partly visible, one in dark hair and one in a pink and orange sari with a mirrored border. A man in a red turban and pink garment, possibly a painted or printed portrait, appears at left among the garlands, and orange cloth is visible at lower left.

A crowd of devotees in white and orange clothing gathers outdoors before a shrine with red curtains and a stone archway. On the shrine, a large deity murti with blue and orange garments, gold crown and garlands stands beside a decorated altar with white cloths and flower garlands. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with folded hands holds a small orange-robed figurine of a saint wearing a saffron turban and white flower garlands on a red tray. Brass oil lamps stand on the platform, and a woman in a white sari watches at the right.

A photograph inside a temple shrine showing a deity murti heavily decorated with garlands of yellow and white flowers, pink blooms, and multicoloured strands, with a golden arched backdrop and a hanging lamp above. A man in a rust-coloured dhoti stands at the shrine doorway with a white tilak on his forehead, one hand resting on a green leaf garland. In the foreground, people with folded hands and bangles, one in orange and red garments, face the shrine in devotion, while a partly visible figure in yellow stands at the right edge. The setting suggests a puja or darshan at the sanctum.
