A photograph of a domestic room with white walls, red curtains and a framed picture of a tree. On the left, a man with a long beard wears a crown, a tall white and red floral garland and red-brown robes, holding a yellow fruit, seated near a basket. Beside him, several women in white and gold kasavu saris stand or kneel, one with hands folded holding red flowers, and a young girl in a pink top and purple skirt sits on the floor among scattered rose petals. Men in white dhotis and a man in a brown saffron-toned cloth stand at the right with palms joined in namaste. A small fan and a television sit in the background. The scene reads as a devotional welcome or darshan.

Indoor photograph of a devotee kneeling with palms pressed together in namaskar before a seated figure at the lower right, who wears an orange saffron robe and has short dark hair. Behind them, several standing women in saris, one in a green-and-gold sari and another in a beige sari, wear rudraksha malas and hold their hands folded; a man in white kurta with an orange shawl and mala stands at the right. Tiled floor, a small wooden stool, and a white-clad onlooker at the left edge complete the scene.

A photograph taken indoors near a doorway with a wooden door and barred windows. In the foreground an older man in white shirt and white dhoti stands beside an elderly man in white. A young boy in white with a red-stained forehead and rudraksha mala stands in the middle. Behind them a man in saffron robes wears a rudraksha mala and a bare torso with an orange and gold sash, and to the right a man with swept-back long hair wears a saffron garment and a heavy gold-bead garland, hands folded before him. Several other people in white and saffron stand in the background.

A photograph of a padapuja ritual inside a home living room with beige sofas and a white pillar. A reclining figure in orange and red drapes, with a red and yellow flower garland and rudraksha beads, has hands folded in prayer and bare feet extended toward a brass tray of offerings. Before him a man in a white shirt and an uniformed shirtless attendant in white dhoti with rudraksha mala lead the worship, a lit oil lamp held by a man in white dhoti with rudraksha beads. Around them devotees in saris and kurtas stand or kneel with palms joined, including a woman in a pink-and-cream sari and a young girl in red. Flowers and marigolds rest on the floor beside the lamp.

A man on the left wears white kurta and dhoti with a gold border and presses palms together.
