A photo inside a temple hall decorated with yellow marigold garlands and a red-and-yellow flower arrangement over a deity murti at the front. A man in a long saffron-brown robe with a red and white flower garland, a white tilak on his forehead, and hands pressed in namaste stands at the centre. Around them are men in white shirts and dhotis, a bare-chested attendant with a sacred thread, and women and children in colourful salwar kameez watching from behind metal railings, one woman raising a phone.

Crowded interior of a temple with a yellow and blue decorated doorway and garlands. A bald man in white dhoti bends low before a figure in saffron-orange robes with a long flower garland of yellow and red blossoms draped over the shoulders, as a man in a white shirt places a garland on the head of a seated child. Devotees in white shirts and red-trimmed clothing press against steel railings, a woman in a green-and-gold top holds up a phone, and a brass plate holds a lit oil lamp with flowers, reflecting a darshan moment at a Hanuman temple visit.

A photograph inside a temple shrine doorway with a yellow and blue canopy and red and white flower decorations. A central man in a maroon-brown robe with a long garland of red, yellow and white flowers stands with palms pressed together in namaste, a white tilak on his forehead and a rudraksha mala around his neck; he has long swept-back dark hair and may be a person, though the appearance is uncertain. A shaved-headed priest in a white dhoti with a beaded necklace bends forward at the flower-covered shrine. Around them devotees in white shirts and dhotis, one in orange, and women in blue and saree stand behind metal railings, several raising phones. Flower garlands with red roses and yellow marigolds lie in the foreground.

Crowded temple scene with devotees pressing around a central figure in an orange saffron robe with a yellow-orange garland of marigolds and fruit, a rudraksha mala visible on the chest, and long dark hair. A bald, bare-chested priest with a sacred thread stands beside a yellow-clad man who holds a tray. A matted-haired ascetic with a beard sits at a yellow table bearing fruit and offerings, and men in white shirts stand along a metal railing. The scene reads as a temple darshan or abhishekam gathering with marigold garlands and fruit offerings.

A photograph of a ceremonial welcome in a small interior room. A figure seated on a wooden chair at left wears a saffron-orange robe, a long white-and-red flower garland, gold bangles and a gold armlet, with long dark hair swept back. Behind him stand saffron-robed sannyasis with rudraksha malas and shaved heads. Devotees in white shirts and dhotis and women in yellow and green saris fold their hands in anjali. A seated woman in white holds a lit oil lamp toward the seated figure, and a silver tray with flower petals and garlands rests at his feet, beside a wooden box of rudraksha beads. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears saffron robes, long swept-back hair, rudraksha and gold adornments during a receiving ceremony.

A crowded temple scene of a photograph. In the centre, a bearded man in a white dhoti with an orange-and-gold border and a white shawl stands with his hands together, a small black-haired man beside him. Beside him, a young man with long curly hair wears an orange-red robe and a beaded rudraksha mala, holding his palms together over a brass tray of lit oil lamp, a small kalasha-style vessel, betel leaves and offerings. On the right, a man in a shaved head with a white-and-red tilak has his palms folded and is garlanded with red and white flower malas. Behind them, a shirtless devotee in an orange shirt with a bun-shaped hairstyle and white ash markings stands among onlookers in white and orange clothing, while others hold phones. Several more people press in from the sides and background, with a deity statue and a colourful painted figure visible in the upper area.
