Night outdoor scene on a red-carpeted walkway lit by strings of small blue and white lights, with palm fronds behind. A central figure in a brown robe and brown shawl, wearing a long yellow-orange and red-flower garland, stands with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. A brass oil lamp with a bird finial stands to the left of the walkway. On the right, two men in saffron-orange robes stand; one holds a tray of flowers and the other stands with hands folded. On the left, a row of devotees in orange, cream and white clothing stand with palms joined. The central figure's cues are a brown robe and garland rather than a clear crown or rudraksha, so identity is uncertain.

Night-time outdoor ceremony under a canopy strung with multicolour fairy lights and a tall wooden pillar. A bearded man in a rust-orange robe with a pink and white flower garland and a gold-and-red chain stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Beside him, a kneeling figure in a maroon garment with a pink shawl bends forward over a brass vessel. Seated devotees in white and orange clothing fill the foreground and background, some with hands folded, and a bald man in white sits at lower right. A yellow metal staircase and a bright floodlight appear at left.

Evening outdoor photograph at an ashram-style courtyard with a dark wooden building behind. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-brown robe and a large red and yellow marigold garland with a white flower at its centre. He walks barefoot toward the right, hands at his sides. Behind him, a shaved-headed priest in saffron-orange cloth with a rudraksha mala and a bare upper body walks along the same path. On the left, a row of people in white with red-and-white shawls stand with palms pressed together in anjali, and a woman in a white sari with gold border and a brown shawl also has her hands folded. A woman in white stands at the right, hands together. Stainless steel barrier posts line the path, and a rolled mat and draped cloth sit on a low platform at right.

Night event under a corrugated roof with string lights and a bright lamp. A central standing man in a rust-orange robe with bare feet and folded palms, eyes closed, wears a pink and white flower garland and a gold necklace, with a red tilak on his forehead. Two orange-robed men sit at right and a woman in white with a brass plate of offerings sits at left; other devotees, some in white and some in orange, sit on a striped rug. A copper-coloured post stands behind. The man's distinctive long hair and ornate garland match a person candidate, but this is an appearance-based label.

Night-time outdoor ceremonial welcome on a paved courtyard. A man with long dark hair and a beard, wearing a rust-brown robe, stands bowing with palms pressed together while a tall gold-tipped staff with a colourful fringed canopy is held above him by an attendant. Four men in saffron-orange dhotis and ornate gold-coloured necklaces stand behind: the leftmost has white tilak markings on his forehead, another holds a brass-like offering tray with flowers, greenery and a coconut-like item, and the others stand with hands folded. Their bodies are decorated with white markings. Behind them is a red pedestal and a tall ornamental lamp stand, with string lights and palm trees in the background.
