Indoor photo in a small room with red walls and a green shelf holding framed photos, a clock, and small figurines. A long-haired figure in a rust-red robe with an orange border and a rudraksha mala stands at centre, hands together at chest, while a woman in a teal sari holds a fruit and a man beside her carries a tray of offerings. Devotees in white shirts and dhotis surround the scene, one bowing with flowers, and a child sits in the lower foreground. A framed portrait of a couple hangs on the wall, and a small deity figurine sits on the floor.

A photograph of a doorway in a pale green room with red tiled floor. A figure in orange robes with long dark hair, a rudraksha mala and a white flower garland stands just inside the doorway, with a second orange-robed person behind them. Around them stand several visitors: a man in white dhoti and shirt on the left, women in a maroon sari with gold border, a woman in bright blue sari with a folded white cloth, and a man in white shirt at right. A framed photo garlanded with white flowers hangs on the right wall, and a framed photo with red and gold garland hangs at upper left. A black suitcase sits near the right edge.

A photograph inside a small room with pink walls, a wooden cabinet and a shelf holding small figurines, with floral garlands hung above a doorway. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward to offer a red fruit or sweet to an elderly woman in a patterned sari, while a woman in a white garland stands in the foreground. Behind them a woman in a cream sari with gold border stands with clasped hands, a child in a white shirt is at left, and a figure in an orange robe stands at right. Several other people in white or cream clothing stand around the room. Visible people: about ten.

A courtyard scene in a white-walled house with a red-and-white tasselled canopy overhead and a floral garland hanging on a doorway. In the foreground, two women in orange saris with long dark hair face away, one holding a silver plate of flowers and fruit. A bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala and a red thread on his wrist stands at left beside a man in glasses. A woman in a teal sari holds a pink garland, while a crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis stands behind. No one visible clearly matches a distinctive appearance cue, so no identification is made.

A photograph of an indoor corridor where a group serves food. On the left, a man in white shirt and white dhoti holds a steel pot, while a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala gestures toward a man in a light blue shirt and white dhoti, who holds a small plate or leaf with food. Another woman in a white sari wearing rudraksha beads stands in the centre holding a steel bowl. Behind them, a crowd of onlookers, including a woman in a blue floral sari, stands along the walls of a plain white hallway with open doorways. The scene suggests an annadan or prasadam distribution. No figure is identified as a person.

A group of nine people stands in a room before a shrine during a puja offering. On the left, a woman in a gold-bordered maroon sari and a woman in a pink blouse with a pink-and-white sari reach toward a silver tray holding bananas, flowers and a garland, which a man in a turquoise shirt and a young man in a white shirt hold in the middle. A woman in a white sari with a gold border and rudraksha-style beads stands beside a woman in plain white robes. Two children stand in front: a boy in white and a girl in an orange dress with flowers in her hair. Behind them a large painted portrait of a long-haired man with a red tilak fills the wall. On the right, a decorated shrine holds a deity murti draped in flower garlands under a painted arch, and smaller decorated figures with garlands sit on a ledge.

A photograph inside a small room decorated with orange cloth and a framed deity picture at upper left, where a seated man in orange robes and a long white and red flower garland receives ritual attention. He holds a silver-coloured ceremonial staff or standing lamp stand. Nearby, a bald man in white dhoti and shirt kneels beside a brass plate holding a bowl and fruit, while a woman in a white sari kneels in front. Around them stand devotees and sannyasis in orange and saffron robes, some with rudraksha malas, plus a woman in a purple sari and a man in white clothing. The walls display framed photographs.

Beside them a woman in a white sari with an orange border holds a steel plate, and other women in pink, teal and white saris stand along the counter with food baskets. Several men in white shirts stand at right holding plates. A bald man in the lower left corner is partly visible. Other attendees in white clothing and visitor badges fill the background.
