Three women sit outdoors beside a chain-link fence and green foliage, arranging small clay oil lamps (diyas) in rows on a concrete ledge with a red-painted base. The woman on the left wears a white and yellow-bordered sari and has dreadlocked hair bound up; the seated woman in the middle wears a rust-orange top and skirt with a red-brown rudraksha-style bead necklace; the woman on the right wears an orange sari with a matching orange blouse, a vermilion-style forehead mark and a silver pendant, holding a stainless steel tray. All three are smiling. Oil lamps are visible, not a fire ritual.

Photograph of a registration or service table at an evening event on a floor covered with a colourful striped mat and a yellow floral patterned cloth. A woman in a white top with a dark bead necklace sits on a white plastic chair, writing or marking a small card held in her hand. Beside her, an older woman in a red patterned sari with a brown shawl and wristwatch leans forward, holding a handbag, while a child in the lower right looks on. Behind them, a man in white with an orange scarf sits at a table with a tray, and other people in white and orange move around the hall.

A photograph of a group of devotees seated on a stone floor within a temple, with carved stone pillars behind them. Most are women in white and cream traditional cloth with gold borders, some in a rust-red sari, and a few men in white. Many have their palms pressed together in namaskar, and several wear flower garlands and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. A yellow cloth bag sits in the foreground beside a woman in white trousers and shirt, and scattered petals and marigold garlands lie on the ground. No person with long hair, saffron or ornate robes, or a crown is visible, so no a person candidate is present.

Photograph of four women seated on the floor of an indoor room with pale yellow walls and a tiled floor, reading from small books. On the left, a woman in a turquoise and purple saree with a patterned border holds an open book on her lap. Next to her, a woman in a white saree with a gold border and an orange blouse reads a small book, her forehead marked with white vibhuti. Beside them, an older woman in a deep blue saree with a red-and-gold border and a white blouse bends toward the book, wearing orange bangles and a white forehead mark. On the far right, a woman in an orange and floral saree sits with a mobile phone in hand. Brass vessels, a pink bag and a red mat are visible in the background.

A photograph of a healing or blessing exchange at an indoor event. On the right, a man with long dark hair and an orange-yellow shawl over his shoulders reaches forward and offers a small yellow flower to a young girl in a pink top, who holds out her cupped hands. Beside her, a boy in a pink shirt leans in with his hands raised. Behind them, a man in a white shirt and a man in an orange robe stand watching, and a white table holds small items. The scene is bright and slightly overexposed. The right-side figure matches the page's Swamiji reference by long hair and orange shawl, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate present in person.

A photograph of women seated on a tiled floor in a pink-walled hall, several in saris and head coverings. In the foreground a young woman in a white dress with a dark beaded necklace and gold armband applies a mark to the forehead of an older woman in a teal saree with gold border, while a steel plate sits nearby. Behind them, women in orange and red saris watch and wait. A shelf above holds folded colourful cloths and bags. No a person candidate is visible in the frame.

A seated group of devotees performs a ritual in a tiled hall. Most wear saffron-orange or red garments with gold borders and rudraksha malas, and some have sandalwood or vibhuti marks on their foreheads. A woman in the foreground in a red-and-gold sari sprinkles offerings from a brass plate. Nearby, a woman in white with a mala leads her hands together, and others in white and cream saris sit on mats with brass vessels, flowers, petals and small oil lamps before them. A steel railing and chain divide the seating area. No individual is clearly identifiable as a person.
