A photograph inside a room decorated with framed portraits on a white wall, draped with yellow and maroon marigold garlands. Framed pictures include a saint in orange robes, a seated figure in white, and a bearded elder, with small offerings and a brass lantern on a shelf below. On the right, a man with shaved head in an orange turban, orange robe and a red and white flower garland stands facing the wall, with a woman in white and a woman in a pink-patterned kurta beside him. Another man in an orange vest stands at the right edge. Several people in white are visible in the background through the doorway.

Photograph inside a rustic wooden shelter with a corrugated metal roof, exposed beams and rafters. Three framed portraits hang together on a wooden board: each shows a seated figure in a meditative pose against a painted backdrop. Below, the backs and heads of several people in the foreground look up toward the portraits, including a man in an orange cap and a man with grey hair. The portraits are printed pictures, not physical people, and no identifiable candidate appears among the visible persons.

A photograph inside a thatched-roof room with white plastered walls and a bamboo-and-log ceiling. A seated figure in orange robes sits cross-legged on a white-covered bed on a striped woven mat, smiling. Standing around them are about a dozen men in white dhotis and white shirts, several wearing rudraksha malas, facing the seated figure. A standing attendant in orange stands to the left holding an orange cloth. On the back wall are framed black-and-white portraits, a small colour picture, and a central poster with printed text. A ceiling fan and a wooden pole supporting the roof are visible.

Indoor shrine room with dark wooden altar cabinets holding framed deity pictures and small brass lamps and offering plates on a low wooden platform. A grey-haired priest with bare upper body and white dhoti with a red-and-gold border stands at left, back to camera. A figure in a long orange robe with a white flower garland holds a lit lamp or flame toward the altar. Another person in orange stands behind. At right, a man in white shirt and white dhoti with glasses stands with palms joined in namaste. On the wall, a large framed portrait of an elderly saint in red-and-white garments with a staff, beside a framed photograph of two robed figures. Marble floor, white walls.
