Night outdoor photo of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes and a long gold beaded necklace bowing deeply with palms pressed together in namaskar, standing before a raised stone platform holding a small brass plate with offerings. Strings of multicoloured lights hang overhead, a bright floodlight glows at right, and a metal railing and a square sunken pit stand on the left. Attendants in white dhoti-style clothes with gold borders stand at the left and right edges, one holding a folded red cloth and a phone. A distinctive long-haired figure in saffron robes with a gold necklace and a bowed devotional posture gives appearance-based cues for a person, though the face is not visible.

A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe and a gold beaded necklace stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes lowered, with a brass oil lamp and an offering plate at his feet. A second man, bare-backed and wearing a white dhoti with gold border, raises one arm overhead, with white ash marks on the arm. Another man in a white shirt is partly visible at the lower left, hands folded. The figure in orange has distinctive long hair and ornate gold necklace cues, so he is a probable Swamiji in an in-person ritual setting.2017-05-26Night-time photograph of a standing man bowing with palms pressed together at the chest in namaste, wearing a maroon-red draped garment, gold waist belt, heavy gold beaded necklace, beaded bangles and an armband, with long dark locks falling past the shoulders and a white forehead tilak. Beside him, a seated young figure in orange-saffron cloth with gold beads also holds his hands in anjali. Behind them stands a silver-rimmed metal bowl on a raised platform with a pink cloth and a small offering plate, under a colourful striped mat, with a printed banner of a map and a standing figure above and strings of multicoloured fairy lights overhead.

Behind him, a second man in saffron-orange robes stands with hands raised to his face in prayer, with dark trees and a green cord along the wall in the background.
