Inside a covered temple hall with a corrugated metal roof, devotees line a metal railing as they bow and receive blessings. Several young men in white dhotis and a man in a white shirt press palms together in namaskar. A young sannyasi with long dark hair and an orange robe stands at the railing, one hand extended toward the devotees, while another orange-robed monk holds a tray draped in orange cloth with white papers on it. Behind them, more saffron-robed monks stand near a wall with framed panels and information boards, and a woman in a white sari with red floral print watches at right. Colourful striped and patterned poles and a dark wooden dais are visible in the hall.

A photograph of a darshan line under a corrugated metal roof with a dark metal frame, beside an orange-painted wall with a brown sign. A figure in an orange robe with a large pink and white flower garland places a hand on the head of a man in a pink shirt, who lowers his head. Two young women stand at left, one in a yellow-green patterned top and one in a blue-and-orange top, with hands reaching toward the scene. Behind, a man in white ritual dress and gold beaded necklaces holds a small wooden box with a yellow fruit, and another man in white and glasses stands nearby. A bald man in orange holds a notepad at lower right. The robed figure with the garland has long dark hair, which fits the page's a person reference, but the appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm.

A man in an orange saffron robe with a rudraksha mala and a red forehead mark stands at the centre, smiling, with long dark hair, one hand raised and resting on the head of a man in a white kurta to the left. Beside him, a man in orange robes holds a folded orange cloth and a brass vessel. Behind them, women in white saris with red and green garlands and several other people stand near a shrine area with garlands and decorations. A printed sign on the left reads text in Hindi on a blue board, and a dark wall plaque is mounted above.

Indoor scene in a hall with white walls, a railing across the foreground, and hanging green leaf festoons along the top. Two people in saffron-orange robes stand at the centre, one with long dark hair facing away and another with long dark hair bending toward a devotee.
