A photograph of a covered walkway with a red carpet running down its centre, lined by metal railings. A man in a long saffron-orange robe with a dark rudraksha mala around his neck walks toward the camera, smiling. Behind him, a group of followers in saffron, orange and white ritual clothes walk in procession; some wear white dhoti and sacred thread, one in dark red garments. Tall decorated pillars with colourful patterns line the hall, and an illuminated shrine area glows at the far end.

Interior of a temple hall with a corrugated metal roof and orange walls, a red carpet runs down a central aisle toward a lit shrine holding deity murti and garlands. Two central men walk along the carpet: one wears an orange robe with a red shawl and rudraksha mala, the other an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland. Around them, shaved-headed men in white dhotis and orange robes walk behind a railing, and women in saris stand at the right side near a desk. Banana leaves and a yellow curtain decorate the shrine area.2012-04-24April 24 20122012-04-24A procession inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and orange-painted walls. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a long orange robe wears a gold-beaded garland and gold armlets, walking forward with a smile.

To his left, an older man in a red flower garland, rudraksha beads and an orange robe holds a golden trident (trishul). Other saffron-robed men and a man in white dhoti and shawl stand around. Behind them hang painted decorative banners and colourful striped poles with floral motifs.
