Outdoor photograph in bright daylight under trees beside a white wall. A central figure in saffron-orange robes wears a long garland of red and white flowers and a rudraksha mala, and is greeted by a man in white shirt and white dhoti who has his palms pressed together.

Outdoor photo near a temple entrance at dusk with palm trees and a small shrine in the background. A man in an orange turban, orange sleeveless robe and long dark rudraksha mala smiles broadly and holds out his hands as an older man in a peach shawl bows deeply toward him. Behind them a bespectacled man in a white shawl with gold border watches, and a priest with white vibhuti on his forehead holds a white cloth and a bunch of white and pink flowers. Several other people stand in the crowd behind, with a railing and signboards visible.
