Photograph inside a temple corridor with stone pillars and a yellow metal gate. A central figure in an orange saffron robe with a long gold-toned necklace and a white forehead marking walks barefoot across the stone floor, flanked by an orange-robed man with a long beard and glasses wearing a similar necklace. Behind them, devotees in white dhotis and shirts stand along the path, some with hands folded. On the right, a woman in a green and purple sari and a shirtless older man wearing a white dhoti and rudraksha mala pass by. The scene suggests a temple visit with a crowd gathered along the route.

A photograph taken in a dim stone temple corridor with worn pillars and a lit yellow-orange lamp at left. A man in a saffron-orange robe walks forward at the centre, wearing a white head cloth, a red-orange garment with a dark bead necklace and a large gold-coloured ceremonial necklace, and raises one hand in greeting. Behind him, several men in orange dhotis and robes walk along, and a woman at right wears a maroon sari and carries or accompanies a flower-decorated staff near a tall ornate standard. Roughly six people are visible in the procession.

Inside a stone temple hall with carved granite pillars, a procession walks across a bare stone floor while devotees watch from behind a yellow-and-orange metal railing. In the centre, a man in saffron robes with long dark hair and a gold chain walks barefoot, holding a small pink object in his hands. Beside him, a man in saffron with a red sash and a garland of marigolds walks with his hands joined, and a man in a light-coloured saffron garment with a garland also walks nearby. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and shirt, a woman in a purple and green sari, and a bare-chested priest in a white dhoti with a rudraksha mala follow. Onlookers stand along the railing, including a woman in a purple sari and another in a pink-and-blue shawl. Fluorescent lights hang from the ceiling.

A photograph inside a temple corridor with pillars and a dim passage ahead. In the centre, a man in saffron robes with a sandalwood mark on his forehead and a long orange-and-yellow flower garland walks forward with hands clasped; the description identifies him as a person by his saffron clothing, garland and forehead marking, though the appearance is only moderately distinctive. Beside him a bearded sadhu in saffron with a rudraksha mala walks, and a woman in a green-and-purple silk sari with gold bangles stands at right. A bare-chested older priest in white dhoti and pink shawl with a rudraksha mala walks at left, and a few others in white or saffron follow behind. A garlanded banner hangs on a pillar at the upper left.

In the centre, a figure with long dark hair wears a deep orange-red robe, a yellow-gold necklace and a green-and-gold beaded mala, lifting one hand in a gesture of greeting while smiling. Around them, several men in saffron and orange robes wear beaded malas, and devotees in white shirts and dhotis crowd close. On the right, a bare-chested older priest in a white dhoti with a yellow-and-green border and a green beaded necklace stands with hands together. A temple tower is visible through the opening at left.

A procession walks down a stone-pillared temple corridor with grey columns and a carved gateway in the background. At the centre, a man in an orange saffron robe and a yellow-orange shawl with a marigold garland and a tilak on his forehead walks barefoot with his hands folded in front. Flanking him are several men in saffron and orange robes, one wearing a rudraksha-style necklace, and a white-clad older man with a bare chest and red-and-white cloth on his shoulder walks at the left edge. A woman in a green and purple sari with folded hands walks at the right. Partially visible men in white shirts and an older bald man in white at the bottom right complete the group. A slim railing runs along the right side of the corridor.
