A photograph inside an open-sided pavilion with a bamboo-mat roof, showing a line of devotees with hands folded in namaskar and a few holding pink flower garlands. A standing figure in a saffron-orange robe, with a yellow-clothed attendant beside a red-and-gold temple-style pillar, performs a ritual at a small table laden with fruit, sweets and offerings on a white cloth. Several people in white dhotis and kurtas, and women in saris of green, grey, purple and blue, stand on an orange floor cloth. Nothing in the image shows a printed name, so no identity is attributed to any figure; the saffron-robed priest is described by role only.

A ritual gathering in an orange-walled hall with a red carpet and an orange cloth-covered platform. A man in a saffron/orange sleeveless robe with long swept-back hair stands at right with hands folded in prayer, facing a group seated on the orange cloth. Seated devotees include a woman in white with rudraksha malas and a woman in orange, along with women in white and cream saris and men in white with yellow shawls. Brass plates hold flowers, fruit, a bowl of marigolds and a kalasha-style vessel. Several other people sit in the background among steel railings.

A photograph inside a covered hall with a corrugated metal roof and orange-painted walls, where a crowd stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Several women in saffron and orange saris, one in a dark red blouse and orange sari, and a woman at left in a purple and green garment with a rudraksha mala, all hold their hands folded. Two shaven-headed men in orange dhoti and shawl stand on a red carpet at right, one with hands folded and the other behind him; a man in orange clothing with a camera is also at far right. Men in white dhotis and kurtas stand in the background. Garlands of yellow and white streamers hang from the ceiling, and a framed photo display with a banner is on the wall behind.

A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual in a plain room with orange-painted walls. A long-haired man in an orange sleeveless garment with rudraksha beads stands at right, hands folded in namaskar, facing a seated group on an orange cloth. Women in white and red saris and men in white with yellow shawls sit around brass trays of flowers, fruits, lamps and small bowls. A woman in a white sari and rudraksha mala holds a tray of flowers, and a woman in pink and white dress sits with hands held together. Background devotees sit on the floor in white and orange. Swamiji attribution is probable only from the standing figure's long hair, orange garment and bead adornments, shown in appearance cues rather than the page.

A photograph inside a large hall with corrugated roof and high windows. Devotees stand in two lines along a red-and-maroon runner carpet, many with palms pressed together in namaskar. A central figure in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, bare-chested, is offered a flower garland and a tray by a standing attendant in orange robes. Women wear saris and salwar in purple, red and white; men wear white shirts and white dhotis. Barrier ropes separate the lines. Strands of white jasmine garlands hang in the foreground. Some visible text on a side banner is not legible.

A photograph of a devotional greeting in an indoor hall with hanging orange and colourful tassel decorations. On the right, a shaved-headed priest in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala holds a silver tray. Beside him, a younger man in orange and gold-bordered dhoti with a gold necklace stands.

On the left, a group of women in white and brown saris and salwar, several with palms pressed together, stand in a line, one wearing a green scarf. Some are greeting with folded hands while others watch.
