Photo inside a temple shrine. A tall brass lamp stands in the foreground with a red flower tied near its top. Two men in white ritual dress bend toward it, one with hands extended over the flame; one wears a white shirt and dhoti, the other is in a yellow-and-white shawl with tilak. Beside them stands a figure in a flowing orange robe with a rudraksha mala, hands clasped in front, appearing as a person sannyasi figure, with long swept-back hair.

He wears a white turban with a red tilak on his forehead, a white dhoti with a red-and-blue border, a white shawl draped over his shoulder, a red-and-gold beaded necklace, and beaded armlets. He sits cross-legged with his hands resting on his lap, smiling. To his right stands a gold oil lamp topped with a rooster figure, and a small bottle sits on the platform. The dark backdrop is plain. The white turban, shawl and dhoti, with gold throne and beaded ornaments, look like the setting of a discourse seat. a person: the figure has no long hair or crown, only a turban and white ritual clothes, which is insufficient cue.

A photograph of a shaved-headed man in white ritual dhoti and shawl, bare-chested on one side, wearing a long necklace of large gold beads and a dark pendant, with a red tilak on his forehead. He holds a small silver lamp with a flame in his right hand. Beside him sits an older man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala, and at the left edge a woman with long hair is partly visible.

A temple ritual scene at a stone pillar with a red patterned curtain behind. A man in white robes with a yellow shawl, rudraksha mala, and a red bindi sits cross-legged, applying a white paste or vibhuti to the forehead of a kneeling young man in a white shirt with hands folded in prayer.
