A photograph of an indoor hall with a purple carpet runner leading toward an open doorway. Three people walk toward the camera: a man in the centre wearing a rust-red long-sleeved kurta and matching dhoti with a sash, smiling, and two women in white saris with gold borders, each holding a bouquet of flowers and wearing beaded garlands. Brass trident-topped lamps stand beside the doorway, and a few blurred figures are visible at the entrance and in the lower-left foreground. The ceiling has fans and fluorescent lights. The central figure's appearance is uncertain, so no identity is asserted.

A photograph taken in a large hall with a dark ceiling and a purple runner laid on the polished floor. A man in a rust-red shawl and matching red dhoti walks forward toward the camera, centred under a spotlight. Around him, devotees in white traditional dhotis and shawls with gold borders walk in procession; several hold bunches of red flowers and wear flower garlands. A brass kalasha-style lamp stands at the right edge beside a brass trident-shaped stand. Empty chairs and dim audience silhouettes sit in the foreground. a person candidate is identified by the rust-red robe with ornate ceremonial dress and the central, honoured position in the procession, though his face is not visible enough to confirm.2017-05-26A photograph of a ceremonial procession entering a hall through a doorway in dim blue light.

A brass lamp stand with a trident-shaped top and a brass kalasha-like vessel stand to the right near a chair. Several onlookers are partly visible at the left edge.
