A group of eight devotees stands in a line in front of a golden shrine canopy with carved pillars inside a metal-roofed hall. The shrine holds a deity murti decorated with white and orange garlands. Most men wear white shirts or kurtas with dhotis and rudraksha malas; the women wear white saris and a dark mala. On each side of the shrine hang framed printed portraits, one showing a figure in a white turban and the other in a dark robe with a turban; the printed portraits are not physical people. Saffron flags stand behind the shrine.

A group photograph at night under a white tent on a red-carpeted stage, with a golden ornate shrine and red-draped deity murti behind them. About ten people stand close together in mostly white clothing: men in white shirts and white dhotis or trousers, women in white saris, and a small boy in a white shirt and dark trousers. Many wear black and white rudraksha malas around their necks, and several have white ID badges on lanyards. Garlands hang from the tent frame above, and a banana leaf and potted plants are visible at left. Faint yellow flower petals lie on the red carpet. No figure is identified as a person.

A group of devotees walks through an open-sided shrine hall toward a white stone temple shrine decorated with a deity murti garlanded with marigolds and flanked by red curtains. Most people wear white kurtas and dhotis; several wear yellow shawls, and one man in the centre wears an orange shawl and white dhoti. A young girl in a blue and green dress stands in the middle of the procession. A woman in white with a black bag stands at right, and a man in a pink shirt and grey trousers stands at the front right. A ceiling fan and orange cloth hang overhead.

A row of men in white ritual clothes stands in an indoor hall before a large gold-framed deity murti and ornate golden structures. Several men wear white kurtas and dhotis with rudraksha malas; one on the left wears a badge pinned to his shirt showing a photograph of a bearded man in a white turban. A large portrait of a smiling woman with long dark hair is partly visible on the left. Many of the men have arms folded, and the scene appears to be a gathering of ordained healers at an ashram event. Blue-grey and white shirts also appear among the group.

A photograph inside a temple shrine with orange curtains and carved stone pillars. At the back, a large deity murti with a trident and garlands of orange and yellow flowers stands before a red backdrop, with a gilded arch above. In the foreground, a line of devotees stands with their backs to the camera facing the shrine. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt stands near the center, and a man in a brown shirt, orange shirts and grey shirts stand along the row. An attendant in an orange cloth and white dhoti stands at the left edge. The scene is a temple darshan with devotees gathered before the murti.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne under a canopy in an open temple pavilion, wearing a red-and-white flower garland and a second garland of green and white flowers with a blue ribbon, while raising a hand in greeting. Behind him stands a gold-framed shrine with a deity murti, a red backdrop and a kalasha-like form beneath gold arches. Six men stand around the throne: on the left an older man in white shirt and dhoti wearing a rudraksha mala, a shaved-headed man in white with an orange cloth, and a man in white shirt and dhoti with hands folded; on the right a man in a blue shirt with a rudraksha mala, a man in beige shirt, and a man in white shirt and dhoti with a rudraksha mala. Orange curtains frame the pavilion and a red-and-gold carpet lies at the base.
