A photograph of a ritual scene in a bright hall with a painted jungle-waterfall backdrop. Eight or nine people stand on a red carpet around a gold-framed shrine holding a deity murti decorated with white and yellow flower garlands and a brass oil lamp at right.

Several women wear saffron/orange sarees with rudraksha malas, one holding a microphone. Two men in white kurta and dhoti stand nearby, and a woman in cream saree and another in white stand at right. A woman in red-orange clothing stands at far left and a young boy in saffron cloth stands beside an older man in white.

A photograph of a standing group in an indoor hall with a wood-panelled wall and purple-lit backdrop. Several men and women stand with palms pressed together in anjali, in white dhoti-style clothing with gold borders and red or saffron shawls. A man in front wears a rudraksha mala and a wristwatch, and a younger man at right has long hair, a gold necklace and a gold forehead mark. A woman in an orange saffron sari stands at left, and a saffron flag is visible behind the group. Several others are visible in the background.

A photograph inside an orange-draped tent with a green carpet during a ritual. In the centre, a man in orange dhoti and shawl, with a tilak, a rudraksha-style mala and heavy gold necklaces, stands with palms pressed together in namaste beside a gold-framed stone platform holding a small silver-coloured figure garlanded with white and pink flowers. Other people in white dhotis and orange or red garments stand and sit nearby; a woman in white and a man in white at right hold flowers and offerings. Brass bells, a kalasha-style brass vessel and offering plates lie on the table. Banners with printed text hang on the tent walls and a tassel decoration hangs overhead.

Photograph inside an orange-draped tent with green carpet during a temple-style ritual. A man in orange robes, bare-chested with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, stands with palms joined in namaskar at right. Another figure in orange sits at left with palms pressed together, wearing red flower garlands. Men in white dhotis with gold borders move about, and a gold-framed altar holds a golden deity murti garlanded with flowers, with a brass bell and kalasha in front. Laptops and monitors sit on tables in the background, and a pink flower offering is held at right.

A photograph inside a temple hall with a deity shrine and gold-decorated altar backdrop. A man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala walks barefoot across a green mat at the center, flanked by priests in white dhotis and shawls, one bare-chested with a rudraksha mala. Several white-clad men stand with palms joined on the left, and a woman in a yellow sari stands at right. A camera on a tripod is set up near the altar. A projection screen hangs on the left wall and orange and red tasseled banners hang from the ceiling. The orange-robed man shows distinctive saffron clothing and a mala, but his face is not clearly visible to confirm identity, so the appearance is uncertain.
