A young boy in white kurta and pants stands before them, holding a small bouquet, while a kneeling person in white is touching the boy's back. Behind them, a man in an orange robe with a gold necklace holds a tray, and several saffron-robed attendants stand at left. A brass oil lamp, a silver tray of fruit and a white decorative vessel sit on an orange-draped table at right, in a marble-floored interior with carved wooden doors.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe and a long red and white flower garland, smiling while reading a sheet of paper on an orange-draped throne-like seat. Their dark hair is long and swept back. A woman in a white sari with a gold border kneels beside them holding papers, and a man in white on the left holds a brass tray with a green leaf and offerings. Behind are brass lamps, a kalasha-style pot, and flower garlands near a stone-carved altar with a deity murti in the background.

Photo of a temple darshan scene. A figure seated on a white-draped throne-like seat wears saffron-orange robes with a long braided plait down the back, and is smiling as devotees approach. A man in white kneels at the left with his hands folded and a devotee in a white garment bows at the seat's edge. A tray of fruit and offerings sits on a table beside the seat. Standing men in white shirts and dhotis, some with yellow scarves, one in orange robes, and a rudraksha mala, watch from the left. Behind them are brass lamps, a gold-trimmed shrine with a marble deity murti decorated with garlands, and a purple cloth. Water bottles sit on a white table at right. Seated figure appearance is uncertain, so identity is not asserted.

Outdoor ceremony at a temple-style event. A long-haired figure in an orange sleeveless garment and a layered gold-bead necklace sits on a white-draped seat or dais, gazing to the side. Beside him, a bald man in orange sits on a white cushion. A woman in an orange top with hair tied back kneels in the foreground, bowing toward the seat. Behind, men in white dhotis and shirts stand near striped bamboo poles, one wearing a lanyard badge. A small book rests on the white cloth. Swamiji (probable) is the seated long-haired figure, given the presentation cues of long swept hair, saffron clothing and gold ornaments, with the page noting his presence at this event.

A long-haired person in orange robes with gold necklaces sits on a white-draped seat at right, with a second orange-robed person standing behind a white table of offerings. Around them, men in white dhotis and shirts, some with lanyards, and several girls in white and light blue clothes stand with hands folded or gesturing, while a man in orange shirt and white dhoti stands at left. Marigold and flower garlands hang along the runner.
