A photo of a ceremonial moment before a decorated deity altar with gold and red garlands. On the left, a smiling man wears a saffron turban, a long orange-brown robe with gold border, and a large rudraksha mala with gold necklaces and bangles; he is a person, with long swept-back hair and ornate clothing as cues. On the right, a smiling man in white shirt and dhoti wears a white flower garland and holds a yellow pot or kalasha, while a woman in white stands between them. Behind them are ornately decorated deity murtis draped in flower garlands, with a red and gold backdrop and a purple cloth. A shaved-headed person in the lower left foreground and white-clad attendants appear at the edges.

Photograph of a couple seated on the floor in a ritual setting. A woman in a red and green silk sari with a white blouse and a red bindi sits at left, her hand clasped with a bald man in white dhoti and shawl at right, both wearing white jasmine and red-and-yellow marigold garlands. Behind them, a figure in a yellow robe with a gold chain sits on a red and gold throne, appearance-based candidate for a person, seated in the background as a presiding figure. A brass plate of yellow flowers and a metal bowl sit in the foreground beside an orange cloth. The warm red walls complete the scene.

A photograph in a decorated temple-style hall with a deity murti seated on a golden throne draped in garlands of red, yellow and purple flowers. On the left a figure in an orange-brown sannyasi-style wrap, a saffron turban, a rudraksha mala and layered gold necklaces stands smiling; the orange, turban and mala cues are distinctive, so this is Swamiji (probable). On the right a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a white jasmine garland and red flowers holds a yellow cloth bundle, and beside him a woman in a white sari with a jasmine garland and red flowers stands with hands together. A shaved-headed person in the lower left corner and a white-clad attendant at the far left are partly visible. A microphone stand and a tray of offerings appear near the throne.
