Photograph of a seated group of young boys performing a ritual at a Paduka Puja in a hall with a red draped backdrop. Boys in white and cream dhotis, yellow kurta and pale kurta sit on a mat, holding brass lamps, small brass vessels and spoons over a prepared tray of flowers, yellow powder and oil lamps. A large silver vessel sits in the foreground. One boy in a yellow shirt sits centrally, another in a gold-bordered white dhoti near the right edge, with sacred ash marks on some foreheads. Several other onlookers are seated behind them.

A photograph of a seated group of boys and young men performing a puja in a hall with red curtains. Many are sitting on mats before brass plates holding offerings, small oil lamps, and bowls, and several hold small brass bells or lamps. Some wear white dhoti-style clothing with shaved heads and vibhuti marks, while others wear casual shirts, an orange t-shirt, and a striped shirt. One young man in white at the right holds a brass bell and a lamp beside a rudraksha mala.

Several boys sit cross-legged on mats on a white tiled floor, performing a puja with brass plates, small bells, a brass cup and a pink-and-yellow tray of flowers and offerings. A boy in an orange kurta and white dhoti on the left sprinkles something from a brass vessel, while a boy in a striped kurta and white pants in the centre holds a brass cup. Other boys in white t-shirts and casual clothes watch or join in, and a plastic container of flower petals sits nearby. No adult a person figure is visible in the frame.

Many boys sit cross-legged in rows on mats on a white marble floor during a ritual meal or puja. Brass thalis, bowls and small lamps with offerings of fruit, sweets and sliced items sit in front of them. Several boys have hands raised in prayer or gesture, and a lit oil lamp is visible at the upper right. The foreground boys wear striped polo shirts, an orange t-shirt and a green shirt, and the boy in orange has his eyes closed in meditation. No single figure is identifiable as a person in this view.

A photograph of a large seated congregation during a group worship session in a hall with a polished floor. Rows of boys and young people sit cross-legged on mats in front of brass plates, small brass lamps, bowls and offerings of sweets and fruit. Many wear white or casual shirts, orange shirts and checked shirts. Older men in white kurta-style clothing sit in the back rows with hands folded, and a shaven-headed man in white and a man with glasses are visible on the right. Some seated people have palms joined in prayer. Orange cloth bags and an orange shawl lie in front, and a small brass deity figure stands at the lower left.

A group of boys sits cross-legged on the floor of a plain ashram hall with light tiled flooring and mats, eating from leaf or steel plates placed on woven mats. Most wear casual clothes in orange, yellow, green and red stripes, plus checked and grey shirts; one older boy in front wears a white dhoti with a bare upper body and a thin sacred thread, and several have white tilak marks on their foreheads. Bananas and small bowls of food lie around them. A seated man in a white shirt watches from the back, and a white-clad figure is partly visible at the top left, with red curtains and a white plastic chair behind. The scene looks like a communal meal or annadan.
