Indoor photo of a padapuja-style ritual in a plain room with pale walls and a window grille. A bare-chested man with long dark hair and a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulders, decorated with a white and red flower garland, sits cross-legged on a white cloth. A man in a white shirt and dhoti kneels at the front, placing marigold and yellow flower petals near his feet, while a man in a white shirt and dhoti wearing a black rudraksha mala gestures nearby. A figure in an orange robe with long curly hair stands at the left edge. Around them, a crowd of men and women in white dhotis, white saris and white shirts, plus one woman in a cream sari with gold ornaments, stand watching in the background.

A seated monk in saffron robes with long hair sits on a white-covered seat with a microphone, holding an open book, with a red floor mat in front of him. A man in a white kurta and white dhoti with rudraksha mala stands in the centre, bending to hand a stack of books to a boy in white clothes with a sacred thread.

A photograph of a seated group in a bright room with cream walls and an orange-tiled floor. On the left, a woman in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits on a floral sofa, facing a group of men seated on the floor and on red-cushioned chairs. Most men wear white shirts and white dhotis or trousers. Two young men stand at the back, one in a white kurta with an orange shawl. A white cloth lies on the floor, and a window with sheer curtains is behind them. The arrangement suggests a sitting satsang or private discussion.

A tall man in an orange robe and orange turban, wearing a rudraksha mala, stands center and is lit by a small flame held near a red-and-pink mat. A man in an orange robe kneels on the floor near a red brass elephant figure, and a woman in a white-and-red sari kneels with her head bowed in front of the pair. Several men in white shirts and dhotis stand around with hands folded in namaste or gesturing, one in a pink shirt in the background. Flower petals and a kalasha-like offering lie on the floor.
