A man with long dreadlocks, wearing a rust-brown dhoti and multiple garlands of pink and white flowers, stands beside a Shivalingam decorated with tall pillars of yellow, red and white marigold and flower garlands wrapped with green leaves. A golden cobra hood (naga) arches over the lingam, and a golden yoni-pitha base holds it. He reaches out to adjust the garlands while a banyan tree and a tent canopy frame the outdoor shrine.

A photograph of a temple worship scene where a person with long dark dreadlocked hair, wearing a maroon head wrap and a maroon-brown dhoti with a gold border, bows and makes an offering at a decorated altar. Two gilded deity murtis, one wearing a crown and the other wearing ornate jewelled attire, are draped with yellow, white, red and green flower garlands. In front, a large jewelled necklace adorns a figure and pink flower garlands surround the altar. Small gilded statues in pink garlands sit on the altar, a brass lamp and a decorated pot stand near the front, and petals are scattered on the floor.

A photograph of a man in saffron-orange draped clothing and an orange turban with a gold ornament, wearing a pink and white flower garland and gold armlets, standing and adorning a large ornate gilded throne or peetha with yellow and red marigold and rose garlands. Long dark braided hair falls over his shoulder, and a rudraksha-style bead necklace appears at his chest area. Behind him, another person in orange clothing and gold bangles is partially visible at left, and a garlanded deity murti is visible in the background. The man has an appearance matching the cues of a person, with distinctive long swept hair, an orange turban and ornate gold jewellery, and is performing a ritual honouring the throne. Mounted garlands and floral decoration fill the room.

A temple ritual photograph. A bearded man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped in a rust-red turban and reddish-brown cloth, with gold armband and bangles, reaches to adjust a tall flower-garlanded altar at a golden deity murti. The garlands are yellow, orange, red and white, with a gold-decorated frame and an ornate gold and red headdress. A second attendant in orange cloth with rudraksha and a long braid stands at left. Brass kalasha pots and offering vessels sit in the foreground. Appearance suggests a person performing the puja, though this is uncertain. Gold-embroidered red and orange silks drape the deity.

A man seated in front of a floral backdrop of yellow marigolds, purple and red flowers and green foliage. He wears a brown textured turban, a red dot on his forehead, a maroon draped garment with gold-patterned black border, and a long necklace of large gold beaded spheres. His hands are folded in his lap and he gazes to the side. He has long dark hair falling behind his shoulders, and the cues of turban, saffron-toned clothing and gold necklace suggest Swamiji (probable) seated on a decorated throne. Only one person is visible.

A man seated on a throne heavily decorated with orange and white flower garlands, with hands pressed together in namaste and eyes closed in devotion. He wears a gold-brown embroidered turban with a red bindi, a cream and gold brocade kurta with a golden shawl draped over the shoulder, and a white mala of flowers with red blossoms around his neck. Behind him stands a dark shiva lingam backdrop marked with three white horizontal bands and a red dot, framed by yellow and white floral garlands. A microphone rests near the chair, and a colourful painted floral mural decorates the background.
