A photograph inside a stone temple shrine with carved granite pillars and a gilded arched frame around the central deity murti. Two deity figures with crowns stand flanking a central form, decorated with long marigold-type garlands in purple and orange. Before the shrine, a seated figure in orange robes sits on a white-draped seat, flanked by brass vessels, a kalasha-like pot and offering plates. In the right foreground, a person with long dark hair wearing an orange wrap stands with their back to the camera, facing the shrine, apparently in worship. Pink and orange drapes hang at the sides of the shrine.

A temple shrine with a golden arch framing a deity murti adorned with orange and yellow garlands, set against a magenta and blue draped backdrop. In the foreground, a man seen from behind with long dark hair wears an orange sannyasi cloth and stands at the granite shrine platform. Brass lamps, vessels and a seated figure in orange robes with a white cloth are placed before the deity. Granite carved pillars and a red-and-orange fabric hang at the sides of the open pavilion.

A stone shrine pavilion with carved granite pillars and a gilded arched niche framing a large deity murti decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands. The murti is seated with a crown and raised arms, and wears a blue and yellow cloth. In front of it sits a small seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a white cloth draped over the platform. Brass lamps, a plate and a kalasha-style vessel sit on the stone platform. A person in an orange wrap stands at the right edge, seen from behind. Orange and red cloth hangs from the pillars.

A photograph taken from behind of a single person in a dark orange-red sannyasi robe walking down a red-carpeted aisle toward a large deity murti. The murti is adorned with a thick garland of red and yellow flowers and wears a blue and pink garment, with a gold-framed backdrop and a pink curtain behind it. Flanking stone carvings and small smaller shrine images are visible on the pillars, and orange-red drapes hang on both sides of the aisle. The figure is seen only from the back, so no face is visible; no identity is established from appearance.

A photograph of a temple shrine seen from behind a single person in an orange-saffron garment with long dark wavy hair, who stands with hands joined in prayer facing the shrine. The shrine holds two stone or metal deity murtis dressed in red and pink cloth with garlands of orange, purple and white flowers, one murti wearing a crown. Brass oil lamps and a brass kalasha-style vessel stand on the platform in front, and an ornate stone carved pillar frames the scene with a view of greenery through an open gateway. The setting appears to be a padapuja at a shrine.

A photograph of a figure in orange robes and a long rudraksha mala standing with hands folded in front of a stone shrine. Behind the stone altar, a deity murti with a trident and red crown, draped in purple and orange cloth, is garlanded with marigold and multicoloured flower garlands. Brass oil lamps, a kalasha-like pot, metal bowls and offerings sit on the altar, with a small blue figure and a white cloth below. The shrine is framed by carved grey stone pillars, a red-and-white striped wall and a red curtain. This is a worship scene, and the figure is an appearance-based candidate for a person, shown with long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads.

A person in orange saffron robes stands with hands joined in prayer, facing a shrine on the left side of a stone-pillared pavilion. The shrine holds a deity murti decorated with garlands of marigold and white flowers, with a small orange-robed figurine seated before it on a stone platform. Brass oil lamps and a brass kalasha stand in front of the shrine, and red-and-white painted walls and an orange cloth hanging frame the scene. The image shows temple worship, with the visible person offering darshan at the shrine. No readable text appears in the image. The person's face is not visible, and no identity is claimed from appearance.
