Four men stand and converse in an indoor hall with a concrete floor and a corrugated ceiling. On the left, a man with swept-back dark hair wears a rust-brown silk dhoti and shawl with a gold border and a long rudraksha-style bead necklace, gesturing as he speaks. Next to him, a bald man in a saffron-orange dhoti, shawl and rudraksha mala listens with hands clasped. Behind them, a person in a white dhoti with coloured border stands near a red table, and at right an elderly white-bearded man in orange robes holds a cane and listens. Gold-coloured deity figures are visible at the far left edge, and a framed picture hangs on the back wall.

Night-time photograph inside a dimly lit temple area where several men stand in conversation. In the centre a man in a rust-orange shawl and orange dhoti with gold borders, a beaded rudraksha-style mala, a silver chain and a headband looks toward a companion. Beside him a bald man in orange robes with a mala stands near a man bare-chested in a white dhoti with green-and-gold trim, hands pressed together in greeting. At the right edge a bald man in orange with a gold-bordered cloth faces away. On the left a man in a white dhoti with gold borders and a mala holds a phone, and behind them more people in white and orange dhotis gather near a stone pillar.

Five men stand on a paved floor inside a dim, open-sided shed with cinder-block walls, a corrugated roof, a black water tank and metal fixtures. On the far right, an elderly man with a long white beard and flowing orange robes gestures toward the upper left with one arm while holding a small object. Beside him, a bald man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with gold borders and a rudraksha mala smiles with his hands folded. Further left, a man in a rust-brown silk garment with gold trim and a long beaded necklace looks on. Behind them, a man in white dhoti and shawl with gold borders wears a beaded mala, and another bald man stands partly visible at the back. Rudimentary tools and a bundle of cloth rest against the wall.

A photograph of three men in saffron-orange robes seated indoors in a hall with cream walls and a tiled floor. On the left, a man with long dark hair decorated with a white flower garland and gold-tone earrings wears a long rudraksha mala and sits leaning forward, speaking. In the centre, a shaved-headed man in orange clothing and a gold-toned necklace bends forward, working with his hands near the floor. On the right, a man in an orange headcloth and orange shawl sits in a chair, gesturing with one hand. Behind them a woman sits at a desk with a microphone stand and computer equipment, and a power outlet is mounted on the wall. The left man has the most distinctive presentation, with long hair, a flower garland, a rudraksha mala and ornaments, but the image does not clearly establish his identity.

Photograph of a small white-walled room with a door on the left. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-brown cloth with a dark rudraksha-style shawl and a white beaded necklace, stands with palms pressed together in a greeting. Beside him a bald, bespectacled man in orange-brown robes wears a gold beaded necklace and holds a folded orange cloth. Behind them a figure in an orange robe and red mala stands in a doorway, and a man in a light patterned shirt holds a phone at right.
