Around a dozen people in white ritual clothing stand in a line, several with hands folded in prayer and one bending forward. Women wear white saris with coloured borders, men wear white dhotis and shirts, and a few in the background wear orange. A white-covered table with small items and a blue bowl sits to the right, with white plastic chairs along the walls and red curtains at the open sides.

A photograph inside an open-sided pavilion with a corrugated roof and large windows. A person in a saffron-orange robe stands barefoot on a striped multicoloured rug, hands pressed together in namaste, facing a group of devotees. Around them, men wear white dhotis and white shirts, and women wear white sarees with coloured borders; many have palms joined in prayer. A white plastic chair and a small table with items sit at the side, and a red curtain hangs by the window. The scene looks like a devotional gathering or pada puja.

A group of about ten people in plain white clothing stand in namaskar with palms pressed together on a striped mat floor in an indoor hall. Several wear white kurtas or shirts, and some have white wraps or shawls over their shoulders. A few wear mala beads around their necks. On the right, a stage area with a green backdrop and speakers is visible, and a figure in red stands near it. No one in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person, so the a person field is none.
