A photograph inside a home room during a padapuja at a house visit. A seated figure with swept-back dark hair, wearing a rust-red and gold garment, a crown-like adornment absent, and a rudraksha mala, sits on an orange cushion with bare feet extended while a devotee places offerings on a brass plate. Multiple marigold and red garlands are draped over the seated figure. Nearby, a woman in a red blouse and an older man in orange robes press their palms together in namaskar. A standing attendant in white dhoti holds a tall silver trident, and another attendant in orange kneels beside. Several people in white and red sit or stand in the background near framed pictures and a wall map.

A photo of a group in a bright hall with pale green walls and a polished tile floor. In the centre, a man in an orange robe with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala stands beside a tall brass oil lamp with lit wicks, garlanded with orange flowers, while a man in a white dhoti and striped shawl tends the lamp. Nearby, orange-robed monks with necklaces stand with hands folded, a man in a white shirt and dhoti watches, and a woman in a white sari with a black jacket stands at right. A framed picture of a seated figure hangs on the back wall, and a few flower petals lie in a pink-and-green floor design beneath the lamp.

Indoor photograph in a white-walled room with an arched doorway. A central figure in saffron-orange robes and a tall orange turban wears a white and red flower garland and holds a lit oil lamp over a tray of flower petals, as if performing aarti. Beside him, a man in orange holds a small kalasha-style pot with leaves on a tray, and a man kneeling at left in orange pours or offers from a vessel. A woman in orange sari with folded hands and men in white shirts and white dhotis stand nearby, one person in the background raising a camera. The central figure has long hair and a visible rudraksha-style mala, with distinctive saffron clothing and turban cues.

Indoor ceremony with seated monks in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, several with white sacred ash on the forehead, sitting on red mats before brass puja items and small plates. In the foreground a bald young monk with a gold necklace and gold armbands sits cross-legged, while boys in orange robes sit in front. Behind them, men in white and light clothing sit in rows, one with headphones and a man in white with palms pressed together. The setting appears to be a hall with a white marble-like wall.

A photograph of a ritual gathering indoors on a tiled floor. A man in an orange saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala and a red tilak on his forehead stands centre-right, smiling with one hand raised in a gesture of blessing. Around him, men in white dhotis and shawls with white sandalwood or ash markings on their foreheads and arms stand with palms pressed together in namaskar, and one holds a silver plate with a lit aarti lamp. Behind them, a large framed picture of a temple deity and an ornate golden throne-like backdrop are visible, with a camera on a tripod and mats and brass vessels on the floor. Five people are visible, dressed in white, orange and red-bordered dhotis.
