A photograph of a temple ritual at an outdoor shrine decorated with marigold and yellow flower garlands. A young man in orange robes and a gold necklace holds a brass lamp with an orange cloth on its base. Beside him, a person in orange robes with long dark hair leans forward, arm extended toward a large gold kalasha on a flower-draped altar. Behind them stands a deity murti with a crown and jewelled gold ornaments, and a seated goddess-like figure in red and gold sari with a garland, and a blue-draped figure in front. Purple and white garlands wrap the altar. Two people are visible, performing puja.

Photograph of a devotee in a sleeveless saffron-orange garment with long curly hair, seen from behind, reaching up to adjust or adorn a pair of bronze-coloured deity murti. The murti on the left wears an orange turban and a dark-patterned necklace; the murti on the right wears a crown-like headdress, a pink silk garment and jewelled ornaments. Both are draped with yellow, red, pink and white flower garlands, and a red cloth hangs over the back. A gold-coloured arched frame surrounds the shrine. The scene appears to be a temple or shrine decoration setting.

A photograph of a man in a saffron-orange robe with a shawl draped over one shoulder and a multicoloured garland of marigolds and red and white flowers around his neck, standing beside a deity murti. He wears a small tilak on his forehead and has long dark hair, and is smiling toward the figure. The deity murti is a gilded figure in a red and gold sari with a crown, elaborate silver jewellery and a garland of yellow and white flowers, its face painted. Behind them are a gold-framed arch and a red curtain, with flower-covered offerings, a brass vessel and a lamp in the foreground. Only one physical person is visible, and the murti is not a living person. Probable Swamiji wears a saffron robe, has long swept-back hair and a tilak, and stands in an ornate temple setting.

A temple ritual photograph in which a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a white flower garland leans forward to touch a tall golden shivalingam decorated with yellow and purple flower garlands. Beside him, a bald attendant in orange robes and glasses holds a tray of small brass vessels. Behind the lingam stand large gilded deity statues of a goddess and a male figure in ornate jewellery, a red-and-gold dress and a trident. A rear onlooker is partly visible at the lower right.

Photo taken at night of a procession with a golden canopy above. To the left, a shaved-headed attendant in orange-brown clothing holds a silver trident, with gold necklaces and a wristwatch. Behind him, another attendant in orange holds a silver ceremonial axe. Marigold and red flower garlands hang from the canopy, which also has blue, purple and pink tassels, and small lights glow in the background.
