A photograph of a ritual gathering in a yellow-walled hall. Seated on the floor, a priest in yellow dhoti and bare chest sits at the centre beside a colourful rangoli on a cloth, with fruit, brass plates and a small brass vessel placed in front. Behind him, a row of devotees in saris and kurtas sit in meditative posture. On the left, several decorated kalashas with mango leaves and coconuts stand near a brass lamp. A man in a bright green kurta sits at left, and a masked person sits among the devotees. Banners and a table with offerings are visible in the background.

Devotees sit on the floor of a hall for a puja at a temple, with two priests in saffron-orange and white seated before a brass lamp and offerings. Several women in saris of purple, green, blue and pink sit in rows, some holding brass plates of fruit and flowers. A row of orange-robed figures and a shivalinga-style stone form stand against the back wall beneath framed photographs. An orange and gold cloth covers a decorated altar on the left with garlands, and oil lamps burn on the floor. A man in a white dhoti sits near the centre, and a standing woman in white appears at the rear.

A photograph of a group of people seated indoors in a plain room with wood-panelled walls, a bookshelf on the left and a wall clock. A man in a light shirt and dark jacket sits on a tan couch next to a person in a light shirt. A woman in an orange and pink dress sits in the centre, and a woman in a red and orange sari sits in the foreground on a dark mat. A woman in a blue sari stands behind them, and other people sit in folding chairs at the right. No a person candidate is visibly present; no one wears saffron, a crown, rudraksha malas or ornate gold adornments in a way that suggests a candidate.
