Outdoor photo of a welcoming procession under a white arched canopy with banana leaves. A bald man in saffron-orange robes with a white forehead band walks at centre, a face-cover-free figure with an ash-marked forehead. Behind him a woman in a garland of white and red flowers and a multicoloured sari stands beside men in saffron and dark red shawls, some with rudraksha malas and white vertical tilak marks. Women in red and orange saris and beaded necklaces stand at left. A man in a white shirt holds a gold-bordered shawl at right, and a figure in orange kneels at lower right. Parked cars and a tiled building are behind the crowd.

Outdoor street scene in a residential lane beside a grey boundary wall with barbed wire and a small green tree. A smiling woman in a maroon sari with a red kumkum bindi and a garland of white flowers, red and yellow beads is at the centre, surrounded by men and women in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas and sandalwood-paste markings on their foreheads. Several shaved-headed men in orange cloth stand close by. A devotee in white offers a long pink flower garland in the foreground, and a man in white with glasses bends toward the crowd. Some people carry a tray of flowers and offerings. Behind them a crowd of onlookers in white shirts and saffron and red garments watches, and a dark vehicle is parked at left.

Outdoor welcome procession on a red carpet along a village street under a clear sky. A central figure in an orange-saffron robe with a multicolored flower garland walks forward while women in saris and salwar, including one in a yellow sari with a long braid and another in blue, hold up decorated coconuts and flower offerings on trays. Men in white dhotis and orange garments stand with folded hands along the sides. Orange and red bunting hangs overhead, and a small child in pink is held at right. Yellow flowering trees, a white building and a pink-roofed structure stand behind the crowd.

A photo at a large tented gathering with red-and-white striped canopy panels. In the left foreground a smiling man wears an orange saffron head covering and gold chain necklace, seated behind a heap of colourful garlands in red, purple, yellow and green, with an orange cloth on the table. Beside him a man in white dhoti and shawl wears a rudraksha mala and stands near the garlands. Two women in saris and a man in white kneel and bow near the floor, and a woman in a yellow sari and others in white sit on a green mat among a crowd of seated devotees.

A large tent with yellow and orange patterned canopy hangs above a crowded gathering of saffron-robed sannyasis and devotees seated and standing on rugs. In the centre, a bearded elder in orange robes and an orange turban sits with hands folded, while a devotee in orange bends forward at his feet. A yellow umbrella and a trident-topped staff are visible. A woman in orange with a yellow garland sits at left with palms pressed together. Men in white dhotis and orange garlands stand behind, and a bearded man in orange shawl stands at right. The scene resembles a ritual reception or padapuja at a sadhu gathering.

A photograph of a padapuja-style honouring inside a hall with orange-red walls. A seated figure on a red and gold throne wears an orange garment, a gold necklace and a long mala, with long dark hair, and holds up a small gold-coloured offering. A standing attendant in saffron-orange robes and a gold necklace holds a red-wrapped tray, and a second attendant in orange stands behind. A bald priest in white with gold trim kneels at lower right holding a red-wrapped item. Two people in front, a man in cream kurta and a woman in brown blouse and gold-bordered sari, kneel before the throne. Behind them, standing devotees in white dhotis and jasmine-and-red-flower garlands fill the background, with a hanging decoration of paper cranes above.
