A photograph inside a temple hall with orange walls and a corrugated metal roof. Three men stand at a metal railing on red carpet: a man in a white shirt and black trousers on the left holds a white plastic bag, a man in a striped brown shirt and brown trousers stands barefoot in the centre, and a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a gold border and a rudraksha-style bead necklace faces away from the camera with hands folded. Painted cloth-wrapped pillars decorated with red and yellow floral motifs and bird emblems stand beside them, with white plastic chairs and a blue chair nearby. A sign with Kannada and English text is on the wall. Beyond, darkened figures sit in a lit hall.

Photograph inside a temple-style covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and orange walls, decorated with colourful painted pillars and hanging paper-leaf strings. A man with long hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a dark rudraksha mala, stands at a railing receiving a folded paper from an elderly man in white. Beside him a bald man in saffron holds a tray with a brass vessel on an orange cloth. Devotees in white dhotis and shirts stand along the railing, with hands folded in greeting. Behind them a temple gopuram-style arch frames the outdoor courtyard. A portrait of a sage hangs on the orange wall.

A photograph inside a covered hall with orange-painted walls and a corrugated metal roof. A man in an orange saffron robe with a red border walks along a red carpet between metal railings, holding a folded paper and looking down at it. Beside him, a man in a white dhoti and orange shawl with a red stripe walks with hands together. A figure with long swept-back dark hair and a dark rudraksha mala wears an orange robe and reads from the paper. On the right, another monk in orange robes stands with hands folded in front of him. Behind them, people in white clothes, some with white head coverings and some with rudraksha malas, stand in a line. A blue information board and bookshelf are visible on the left, and palm fronds hang near the open doorway.

A long-haired man in an orange sleeveless robe with a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace stands at center, smiling as he takes a sheet from a woman in white. A monk in orange drapes holds a brass tray with a small offering. A woman in a red-bordered sari stands at left with hands folded beside a railing, a blonde woman in white garments stands near her, and several people in white clothing stand in the background.

A photograph of a group of devotees walking through an orange-walled courtyard entrance toward a shaded doorway. In the foreground a man in a checked shirt and glasses stands with his hands joined. Behind him people in white dhoti and white shirts, orange and salmon saris, and a woman in a green patterned top walk on a green mat past a red-carpeted ramp with metal railings. A blue sign with Kannada and English text hangs on the orange wall, and a white board stands in the background. Several people appear to be visitors, and the scene looks like a temple or ashram entrance. The mood is orderly and procession-like.

A photograph inside a covered hall with an orange-painted wall and striped pillars. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a gold chain stands at a railing, reaching to take an object from a white-shirted devotee who holds out his hands. Beside him a shaven-headed monk in orange holds a brass vessel on an orange cloth. Other people in white stand along the railing on the right, and a man in a white shirt stands at the left. A framed picture hangs on the wall behind. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired figure in orange with rudraksha mala and gold chain, receiving an offering.

A photograph in a hall with a stage backdrop featuring a golden throne and deity figures in the background. On the right, a man with long swept-back hair, a bare upper body wearing an orange-red dhoti-style wrap and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala, with bangles on his arms, smiles while receiving a folded paper from a man in a green shirt. Three men on the left stand with palms pressed together in anjali, wearing white shirts and red-orange shawls. A small sign-like label is not visible; the tripod and a camera are set up near the stage. Appearance cues include long hair, orange clothing and beads, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance, though the image alone does not confirm identity.

Beside him a monk in orange cloth holds a brass item. Men in white shirts and white dhotis stand along a steel railing, with a golden deity murti visible in the background.
