Outdoor photograph of a line of devotees standing with palms pressed together in namaskar on a dirt ground beneath palm and leafy trees, with thatched-roof buildings behind. Foreground figures include an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a mustard-yellow shawl, a man in a checked shirt, a woman in a pink sari with glasses, a smiling man in a white shirt with a pendant, and a young girl in a pink dress with glasses. Behind them, other people in white and colourful clothing stand along the path, some in orange and yellow garments, and a man in a white vest and orange cloth walks at left. No one visible is identifiable as the swami; all are devotees and attendees.

Outdoors on a dirt path lined with coconut palms, two rows of devotees stand on either side applauding and pressing palms together. A man in white dhoti and shirt with a yellow shawl walks down the middle of the path in sandals, with a lanyard around his neck. Men in white shirts with lanyards and women in sares and salwar kameez watch from both sides, and a white multi-storey building stands at right.

Outdoor evening procession on a dirt path lined with coconut palms and a thatched fence. Devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas stand on both sides, many with hands folded or raised. At the centre a drummer in a red-and-white garment beats a barrel drum while men in white walk ahead. Further along, a deity murti is carried under an ornate golden umbrella-style canopy with decorated banners on poles. A woman in a blue dress stands at the right edge with a shoulder bag. No single figure is clearly identifiable as a person.

Outdoor photo on a paved walkway lined with tall coconut palms. In the foreground a smiling woman in a green and multicoloured sari with gold bangles and a dark lanyard badge presses her palms together in anjali. Beside her, a row of women in yellow, lavender and grey saris also stand with hands folded in greeting. Men in white shirts and mundus walk along the path. Behind them a large framed portrait on a stand shows a figure with dark hair, and orange flags are visible. A green mesh fence and red plastic chairs sit at the right edge.

Outdoor photo of a ritual gathering on a dirt ground with circular ash or soil marks and scattered flower petals, surrounded by palm trees and small red flags on poles. Several people stand in a row with hands pressed together in prayer. Most wear white dhotis and white garments, some with yellow or red shawls and red sashes. On the left foreground, a man in an orange-saffron robe stands partly out of frame. A few devotees in white stand near the back, and a shaved-headed man in a white dhoti and rudraksha mala stands near the centre. No clearly visible a person candidate is identifiable from appearance, so no identity is asserted.

Outdoor photograph of a large group of devotees standing in two loose lines on a bare dirt ground beneath tall coconut palms in an ashram compound. Most wear white ritual clothing, some with orange or saffron shawls and sashes. A few older figures in orange robes stand at the left edge near a tall wooden pole with curved cables overhead and a small table with a yellow cloth. A red-roofed building and a low tin-roofed structure stand at right. No clear a person figure is identifiable, so the appearance cannot be confirmed.

A man in a light shirt stands at the right edge near a red-roofed building. The scene appears to be an ashram ritual gathering in an open courtyard.
