Outdoor photo of a crowd of devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas gathered on a red carpet with gold-patterned border. In the foreground a person in an orange turban and orange shawl with long dark hair sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, facing a man in white who kneels with folded hands. Another man in white at right bends forward, and a man in white at upper left raises his hand over the group. A standing man in white wears an orange shawl and a long beaded mala, and others in orange shawls stand around.

Outdoor photo at a festival-style gathering under white draped fabric with a loudspeaker and a golden deity murti in the background. In the foreground, a person in an orange turban and orange robe is kneeling with their back partly to the camera, hands raised toward a group. Around them, men in white kurtas and dhotis, some wearing orange or saffron shawls and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, stand and kneel. A man in a white shirt with a gold chain and a lanyard stands at centre, while a young man in an orange shawl and white clothes stands to the right with a bead necklace. Several people in the background wear white and orange garments.

Outdoor festival photo under white draped canopy with red trim. In the foreground a person seen from behind wears a large saffron-orange turban and saffron-orange wrap, hands raised in greeting toward a seated man in a white shirt who smiles and presses his palms together. Standing behind them, a young man in white kurta with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala looks down; beside him a man in white with a red and gold border shawl and dark beaded necklace stands. A bald man in white with a beaded necklace bends forward. Several other men in white clothing crowd the red carpet, with a golden figure statue visible in the background.

A photograph of a crowd of men in white dhotis and shirts gathered under a white-and-red canopy at an outdoor event. In the foreground a seated figure wears an orange turban and orange robe, seen from behind, with a red cloth on the platform before him. Several men around him gesture and reach toward him, one with an outstretched arm and another with hands raised. Some men wear orange shawls. Red paper lanterns hang from the canopy, a large banner stands at the right, and a golden statue is visible at the upper left. The figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the seated person is described by role as a seated devotee in orange.

A photograph of a padapuja ritual under an open-sided pavilion with a tiled roof. A seated figure on a golden throne with a red cushion wears orange robes and garlands of red flowers, while a devotee in a white dhoti and shirt bends forward with joined palms at his feet. Other devotees in white dhotis and shirts stand in a line holding fruit, and a man in an orange robe and rudraksha mala stands at the left. A woman in a yellow sari stands behind them. A tray of fruit, brass vessels and offerings sits on a red and patterned carpet in the foreground. Attendants in orange robes stand near the throne.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a red tilak sits on an orange throne-chair under a shrine canopy, appearing to be the Swamiji (probable) by appearance cues. Before him a man in a white shirt and dark trousers kneels and touches his bare feet resting on an orange cushion and wooden sandal, while a man in an orange shawl holds an orange cloth and a man in white dhoti stands nearby. Two women in white saris with gold borders stand at right. Behind them is a golden deity murti in a shrine decorated with red and white garlands and a golden kalasha, with stone carvings on the pillars. The scene suggests padapuja.
