Some of the deity pictures (wherever permitted only) were primarily for family elders who unfortunately are unable to travel much anywhere but hold these specific temples very sacred and close to their heart.

But I do take your point and will keep this in mind going forward when posting online. Appreciate the feedback.

I fully agree with @ampere that a very long trip or multiple visits is required to properly visit these temples. There is so much historical and spiritual significance to these temples which necessitate more time than many of us are able to give currently due to work / family constraints. Maybe a short visit kindles the desire to return after retirement or when work and family are well-settled.

If there are any specific questions, happy to answer.
