Photograph of a temple scene where a bare-chested man with long, swept-back dark hair, a white forehead mark and white marks on his arms, wearing a rudraksha mala, a ceremonial gold necklace and a white flower garland over an orange-and-yellow shawl, extends his hand to bless a line of devotees who bow with folded palms and bent heads. Behind him, a priest in white ritual dhoti with gold border and a saffron-robed monk stand near a red-draped altar, arches and pillars frame the hall, and a small deity picture hangs in an arched niche.

A photograph inside a hall with arched alcoves and a corrugated roof, showing a man in saffron and orange robes with a white garland of jasmine-like flowers and red blossoms, a white horizontal forehead mark, and gold ornaments. He smiles while raising one arm and extending a hand over the crowd. Beside him a bare-chested man in an orange cloth holds a brass kalasha-style vessel on an orange cloth tray with a paper sheet and gold items, appearing to bless or offer. Around them devotees stand with folded hands, including men in shirts, women in white and pink salwar outfits, and a woman with red hair in white clothing.
