A photograph of a person in a maroon and orange-bordered dhoti and matching upper cloth walks through an open wooden doorway into an interior hall, barefoot over a floral garland-and-petal rangoli on the threshold. The person wears a long red-and-green garland, long dark hair falls down the back, and a small red bindi marks the forehead. Behind, a man in white dhoti with a gold-toned shawl and a bald man in maroon and orange robes with a rudraksha mala follow. A flat-screen television stands at the right edge beside the door, and a glass staircase railing is visible in the background.

A photograph of a man in a rust-red sannyasi-style dhoti and wrap walks barefoot down a narrow passage lined with yellow marigold petals and a marigold-garlanded doorway decorated with mango leaves and a swastika motif. He wears a long white and yellow marigold garland and a dark rudraksha mala around his neck, with gold bangles on his wrists and arm. Two men in white dhotis with red-bordered shawls stand in the background. A yellow and orange floral arch frames the entrance, and a patterned mat runs along the floor.

He wears a long garland of yellow and magenta flowers and a gold necklace, and his long dark hair is swept back. Behind him a woman in a cream and orange sari carries a brass vessel with a green leaf on a tray, and another person in white stands in the doorway.
