Indoor photo of a line of devotees in white clothes standing with palms pressed together in namaste along both sides of a hall. A figure with long dark hair and a dark robe walks down the central aisle toward a bright open doorway, where other people in white and an orange shawl stand waiting. Ceiling lights and a balcony are visible above.

A dim interior hall viewed from inside looking out through a wide doorway toward a bright, garland-decorated entrance porch. Three figures walk out toward the porch: a man in a white shirt and white dhoti at center, another man in white beside him, and a woman in an orange-red sari. Silhouetted people stand in the dark foreground along the left and right edges. Ceiling lights glow overhead, and a small table with a chair sits near the doorway. Strings of flower garlands hang across the porch ceiling.

A dim indoor photograph of a doorway in a white-walled hall with a fluorescent tube light above. A man in orange saffron robes with a long rudraksha mala stands centre, palms pressed together in greeting, walking toward the viewer. Behind him, several men in white dhotis and orange-bordered shawls, some with hands folded, one kneeling in front. Two men in white shirts and dhotis at right stand with palms joined. Metal scaffolding and a stage backdrop frame the right side, with a partial portrait of a woman in red at the edge. Six or more people are visible.

Photograph of a doorway entrance to a building with a bamboo-slat wall and tiled roof, opening onto palm trees and a yellow-canopied umbrella. A barefoot figure in a saffron-orange robe and dark rudraksha mala walks across a green mat and red carpet, followed by a shaven-headed man in white dhoti and shirt with an orange shawl. Behind them a man in white robes stands with hands folded in greeting, and a younger man in orange robes stands at right. A woman in a white sari with an orange border stands at left, and a few more people in white are visible in the background.

Interior of a small yellow-walled shrine room with a corrugated metal roof and a white meditating-figure emblem above the altar. A young person in an orange-red robe with a white and dark flower garland and an orange bead necklace stands centre, hands clasped at chest, in front of an altar with a framed image and offerings. Devotees in white dhotis and white kurtas, and women in white saris with gold borders, stand around, several with hands folded in greeting. A large framed picture of a temple-like scene hangs on the right wall. a person is not indicated for this event, so no identification is made; the central figure is described by role only as a robed person receiving devotees.

A photograph of a long covered walkway with a red carpet, lined on the left by a metal railing and devotees with palms pressed together in namaste. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron dhoti, a bare upper body with a shawl draped over the shoulder and a garland of beads or flowers, walks forward smiling with hands folded in greeting. Several women in white, cream and saffron-toned clothes stand along the rail, some in sarees, with hands raised in prayer. Yellow paper streamers hang from the ceiling frame. A figure in the foreground on the right is partly visible in light striped cloth. The scene suggests a darshan or greeting procession. a person appears as the walking man in orange with long hair, mala and gold-toned armlets.
