Photograph inside an open-sided temple hall with an orange-brown roof, dark steel trusses, ceiling fans and red curtains between the pillars. Several devotees stand or kneel in prayer with hands folded at chest level. In the foreground at left, women in white and orange-bordered saris bow with heads lowered. At centre, a man in an orange robe stands with palms joined, and a second figure in orange stands nearby. At right, a woman in a pale pink top and a man in white dhoti-style clothing stand with palms together, and a man in a dark shirt bends forward in reverence. The floor is covered with striped and purple mats, and a white plastic chair and a low red-cushioned bench line the walls.

Indoor photograph in a wooden-roofed hall with striped woven floor mats and red curtains. A man with long swept-back dark hair and a sleeveless saffron-orange robe walks barefoot across the mats, smiling, with a vibhuti mark on his forehead; the robe's distinctive long hair and orange clothing make him a probable Swamiji. Behind him, a man in a white kurta with glasses and a woman in white with a yellow shawl stand nearby. At the right edge, a person in white with a yellow shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaste.

A man in an orange saffron sannyasi robe stands with palms pressed together in namaskar on a striped cotton mat inside an open-sided pavilion with a corrugated roof and red curtains. Behind and to his left, a group of women in white saris with gold borders, several wearing yellow shawls, stand in a line with hands folded in prayer. A tray with brass items and a small offering sits on the mat near the group, and a small table with flowers stands at the right. The man has shoulder-length dark hair and a tilak mark on his forehead. He is the only figure in saffron; the group appears to be devotees.

A photograph of a covered open-sided hall with an orange corrugated roof and red-framed windows. In the centre, a man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron robe walks barefoot across a striped green, pink and blue mat, smiling and looking down. He wears orange garments wrapped over his body. To his right, an older bespectacled man in white dhoti and kurta with an orange shawl and a rudraksha-style pendant holds a rolled item and walks alongside. Behind them a man in white and another in orange move through the room, and a pedestal fan, white plastic chairs and a table stand nearby. A large printed banner on the back wall shows a man in white turban-like headwear. A camera operator is visible at the left edge. The long hair, orange saffron robe and rudraksha cues are distinctive and align with the page's reference to Swamiji, so the central figure is a probable Swamiji.

A hall with rows of red plastic chairs and a striped green-and-maroon floor carpet with flower petal designs. A man in an orange saffron robe with a long white flower garland walks centre-frame, flanked by other monastics in orange robes. The figure at centre has long swept-back dark hair and a bare upper body with a gold-toned chain, which matches the page's a person cues. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts press palms together in greeting, and a cameraman in white with a yellow scarf films. Ceiling fans and a framed portrait hang on the wall.
