Night photograph of a crowd of devotees in white clothing walking along a dark path toward a lit structure in the background. A young man in the foreground wears an orange shawl, a white shirt and a red bindi, and holds something in his hands.

A woman in a maroon sari walks at right. A glowing oil lamp hangs at top left above a white platform. No identifiable ceremonial figure is clearly visible.

Night-time photograph of a crowd gathered outdoors in front of a red-walled building with a small lit doorway. In the centre, a bare-chested man in an orange dhoti with a red sash stands with his back to the camera, facing a line of devotees who wear white clothes. Many people in white or cream kurtas and saris stand in rows, some holding small cloth bags or packets, and several children are in the front. A woman on the left wears a white sari with an orange border and a beaded necklace. Nobody in the scene is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance alone, so the central figure is described by role only.

A woman in a white sari with a gold border and a rudraksha mala stands at left, serving food from a steel vessel into the cupped hands of a young girl in a white school-style uniform. Behind them, people in white and saffron-orange sashes stand in a group, and a child in yellow is partly visible at left. The scene suggests prasadam distribution during a devotional gathering.

A nighttime photograph of a tight crowd of devotees gathered closely in a circle, hands reaching inward and cupped together. Several people wear white clothing, and a few wear saffron or orange shawls and rudraksha beads. A young boy in the centre has a white forehead mark and a light blue shirt, and a woman on the left has white paste on her forehead. Many hands hold small grains or offerings. No single figure can be confidently identified as a person from the image alone, so the a person field is unsure.

A night-time food service line where a woman in a white and beige sari with an orange-red shawl serves yellow rice from a steel pot with a ladle, while another server in white stands beside her. Stainless steel pots hold yellow rice and a dark vegetable dish. Women and girls with white forehead markings and ornaments line up holding steel plates, one in a turquoise sari and one in a white polka-dot top. A woman in an orange sari and a man in white stand in the background. The scene suggests communal food distribution.

Outdoor photo of a crowd at a ceremony. On the right, a figure in an orange-saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a bright red-and-yellow tasselled umbrella above him holds a metal tray or plate toward an older bald man in white clothing with a rudraksha-style bead mala, who smiles and reaches out to take an offering. Around them, children and adults in white clothes press close, including a boy in glasses and a woman with light hair on the left. Behind them stand brick buildings and a hazy hillside under an overcast sky.
