Indoor photo of a crowded hall at dusk-lit ashram setting with a dark patterned floor. Many devotees stand and sit in rows, mostly in white clothing, with some wearing red, yellow and pink saris and sarees. Several women wear white saris with lanyards and rudraksha-style necklaces, and a man in a white shirt holds his hands together in prayer near the front. A man in a checked shirt and an orange shawl stands at centre-back, and a woman in a yellow sari stands at right. Bright light streams in from the upper left edge of the frame. Many people are visible, and several have tilak or kumkum on their foreheads.

Night scene outdoors on a sandy path lined with devotees standing in two rows with palms pressed together in anjali. On the left, a woman in a white sari with an orange-and-gold border and gold bangles stands with hands folded and eyes closed. Men in turquoise and white shirts and dark trousers stand beside her. On the right, devotees in white shirts and trousers line the path. At centre, a figure in white dhoti and shawl with a red-and-white band walks down the path between the rows. A bright blue-white tube light illuminates low buildings behind the crowd.

A night-time photograph of a long line of devotees standing on a sandy ground at an outdoor event. In the foreground a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands at left, and beside him a man in a white shirt wears a rudraksha mala. A woman in a blue embroidered saree stands with hands folded in namaste. Next are women in cream and red sarees, a young woman in white with a magenta shawl, and a man in white shirt and dhoti with palms pressed together. Children in white and an orange-clad child stand in the line, and older women in sarees and men in white clothes continue into the darkness. A few people appear to hold their hands joined in prayer. The posture suggests a procession or darshan queue. No deity, throne, or ritual object is clearly visible.

Behind them, a few people in white and saffron-orange robes stand in the dim background beneath a fluorescent tube light.
