A man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a rudraksha mala bows low with his forehead to a red patterned carpet, touching it with both hands at the feet of a seated figure in saffron robes. The seated woman on the right wears saffron cloth over a pink sleeveless top, smiling, with long dark hair and bare feet, seated on a white-cushioned seat. Beside her a seated man in orange robes watches. Behind them, several standing devotees in white and orange garments with orange shawls stand in a bare concrete hall with a stone pillar on the right.

A photograph taken under a colourful striped tent canopy at night. A figure in an orange saffron robe and orange turban sits on a cane-backed seat, wearing a multicoloured flower garland and a gold necklace. A man in white kneels on a red-and-white striped mat before him, touching the mat with his hand, while women in white saris with gold borders and rosettes stand around, one holding a brown handbag. A man in white on the left wears an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala. The seated figure's features are not clearly distinct enough to establish identity, so the a person field is unsure.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long-haired, swept-back style, a red bindi, and a rudraksha mala with ceremonial gold ornaments sits on a white cushioned seat beside a black walking cane, with a striped purple mat below. A devotee in white clothes bends forward to touch the seated figure's feet, which rest on a silver tray decorated with flowers. Two men in white shirts with orange shawls stand behind, and a microphone stand is visible at left. Ornate carved stone panels form the background.

A seated woman in an orange robe and orange shawl sits on a red-and-white cushioned seat set on a mat, smiling and raising one hand in greeting. A man in white kneels on a blue mat at her feet, bowing toward her bare feet. Behind them stand several people: a man in a grey shirt with palms pressed together, a bearded man in white with an orange shawl, and a man in orange holding a camera. A woman in a pink sari and a woman in a purple top stand at left, and a child in white is at the lower left. Carved stone pillars and a garlanded altar with brass items are visible in the background.

A seated man in an orange saffron garment draped over a red sleeveless top smiles and holds his palms together in greeting. His hair is swept back into a bun at the nape. A man in a white dhoti and shirt kneels before him with his head bowed, touching the floor near the seated man's bare feet. Behind them, several standing men wear orange and white clothing; one in a beige shirt stands with arms folded and another in white holds his hands in namaste. Before the seated man are heaps of white cloth bundles decorated with yellow and pink flowers and marigold garlands on an orange cloth. The setting appears to be a raised concrete platform at night. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure receiving devotion, identified by orange saffron clothing with swept-back hair and a bun.

A night-time outdoor gathering under a colourful striped canopy in red, purple, green and orange panels. At centre, a man in a bright orange turban and saffron robe sits on a striped mat wearing a long multicoloured flower garland and a gold pendant necklace. He has bare feet and a serious expression. Before him, a woman in a dark green top and long braid bends forward, and a man in white kneels and bows his head to the floor. Around them, women in cream and gold-bordered saris and a man in white kurta stand watching, some wearing lanyards and a rosette badge. A man in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands at left. Scattered petals lie on the mat.

A man in an orange saffron robe with a long beard and another in orange robes sit in the centre on a cream upholstered chair, with red floral petals on the floor in front and a man in a white shirt kneeling to pay respects at their feet. Behind them a deity murti and a decorated kalasha or altar stand with lamps and offerings. A man in a white dhoti and red shawl with a rudraksha-style necklace stands nearby, and standing devotees in white shirts and beige trousers surround the scene, with a few more people visible at the right edge.
