Photograph of a hall with a polished marble floor and colourful striped bunting hanging from the ceiling. Two rows of people stand with palms pressed together in anjali along both sides, men in white on the left and women in white and blue saris on the right. In the centre, two figures in saffron/orange robes walk forward down the aisle, one with a rudraksha mala around the neck, followed by a man in white. A deity shrine with garlands is visible at the far end, and a small wooden pedestal or table sits near the aisle. Several people are seated on the floor in the background. The scene suggests a satsang or puja procession.

A crowded indoor hall with an orange-painted wall and a corrugated metal roof on steel trusses. Several painted cylindrical pillars in red, yellow, blue and white patterns stand along the room. Devotees in white clothes and colourful saris kneel, sit and stand in rows behind a stainless steel railing, some with hands pressed together in prayer. A red carpet runs along the railing toward a raised area at the far end. Many men in white dhotis and shirts stand on the right side. Framed photographs hang on the walls. Some people sit on the floor in the foreground near the railing, and a few bend forward toward the front. The scene appears to be a darshan queue.

Indoor photo of a long hall with a corrugated metal roof and white walls, with a queue of devotees standing on woven mats. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears an orange-saffron garment and is greeting people with folded hands; a bare-chested figure in orange wears a mala. Nearby, a man in an orange robe with a yellow-beaded necklace stands in the line. Several women in white and orange saris and salwar suits are in the queue, and men in white and light shirts stand along the railing. Colourful painted pillars with floral and bird motifs frame the room, and a wall board holds a photo collage of people and a temple image. Possibly a darshan line.
