A photograph of a seated figure in a red-maroon turban and saffron-orange wrap with a gold staff and layered white and red flower garlands, extending a hand to the forehead of a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha-style necklace who bends forward with his hands raised. Behind them, a gilded throne-like seat and a standing figure in ornate red and gold drapery stand before a red backdrop, while women in white and red garments with red lanyards watch from the side. The scene appears to be a blessing or ritual touch at a temple setting. The seated figure has distinctive turban, staff and garland cues and is.

A photograph of a blessing in an ashram hall with red carpet and gold-trimmed decor. A bearded man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing a dark shawl over saffron-orange cloth, stands at left, extending his right hand to press the forehead of a man in white kurta with an orange shawl who bows with folded hands. Behind them a gold and red ornate throne canopy and decorated deity murti stand, with a woman in white with a rudraksha mala seated nearby and other people in white in the background.

A ceremonial photograph on a stage with a pink, glowing backdrop and a golden ornate canopy at the left edge. A figure in a rust-red turban, rust-red and saffron robes, a long rudraksha mala and a bangle stands at left, reaching forward to take a white cloth. A man in a white shirt and white trousers stands center, holding one end of the white cloth, while a man at right in white with a bare chest, wrapped rudraksha and a sandalwood-marked brow holds a silver tray of flower petals, garlands and marigold-style offerings. Gold lamp stands are visible at right. This appears to be a puja or offering ritual; the left figure is a person by appearance with a turban, saffron-toned robes and a long rudraksha mala.

A photograph of a temple ritual inside a plain whitewashed room with a ceiling fan-free concrete floor. In the centre, a deity murti is decorated with orange and red flower garlands and a silver-embellished garment, placed on a pink silk-covered platform. A man in white dhoti bends over the murti, apparently performing worship. To the left, several men stand in orange and red robes; one wears an ornate embroidered conical hat and carries a tall golden staff. A man in an orange jacket and orange cloth stands centrally, watching. A bare-chested man in a white cloth stands at the right edge beside a gilded ornament. Green leaves lie on the floor near the murti.

Photograph of a ritual scene inside a temple hall with a gold-trimmed pillar. A seated man in orange-red saffron cloth with a gold-bordered shawl, rudraksha beads, a red-and-gold headband and a red bindi with white vibhuti marks holds a small gold cup or vessel in his hands. Beside him, a man in a white dhoti with gold borders applies white paste to his forehead, and another man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and white marks on his forehead and arms assists nearby. A golden throne with red cushioning and a large gold backrest stands behind the seated figure, and an orange-and-blue ornamental fan or prabhavali hangs on the pillar.

A seated man in an orange-and-saffron robe with a gold-edged cloth sits in a large brown leather armchair, smiling broadly, a long rudraksha mala draped over his chest and a bracelet on his wrist. Beside him a standing man in a white kurta wears a saffron-red shawl and a lanyard, and a woman in white with long grey hair leans in, both touching a large white cut-out silhouette of a seated figure. Behind them a crowd of people in white clothes with red-orange shawls sits on a hall floor, with a purple-lit wall panel and framed artwork at upper right. The scene appears to be a seated gathering with a central guru figure.
