A photograph of a devotional gathering in a hall with cream walls and recessed ceiling lights. In the foreground a white-clad woman bends forward to scatter flower petals onto a white cloth laid on the floor, which bears a floral border of yellow, pink and red petals. A seated figure in the lower right wears a white garment with a gold-bordered wrap and a white turban, seen from behind with long dark hair, and faces the group. Around them a crowd of devotees wearing white clothes and rudraksha-style mala necklaces stand and kneel with palms pressed together in namaste, some holding flowers. A few men in cream and beige kurtas also kneel at the left, and a water bottle sits near the bottom edge.

A photograph of a stage event with a large ornate golden throne decorated with a golden canopy and red cushions, framed by green lighting and strings of flower garlands. Several devotees in white dhotis and saris, some in orange and yellow shawls, stand along the stage. A man in white bows low at the base of the throne steps, and a woman in white stands nearby. Scattered flower petals cover the floor, and a girl in white kneels in the foreground.

A photograph inside a plain hall with turquoise walls, hanging lights and a ceiling of grey tiles. On the right, a man in a cream turban and a gold-trimmed cream shawl sits on an orange-yellow throne-style chair, with garlands of white flowers draped at his feet; he has long dark hair and appears to be receiving devotees. A bearded man in white with an orange cloth stands behind the chair at the far right. A crowd of devotees in white, green and pale clothing presses toward the chair; a man in a green shirt holds up flowers or an offering, and a woman with a long braid in white stands in the foreground. A speaker box and a stand with monitors are visible on the back wall.

Photograph of a hall during a seated ritual programme, with an audience of white-clad devotees seated on the floor at left facing a raised dais. On the right, a figure with a white turban and light clothing sits on a throne-like seat decorated with white and yellow flower garlands, hands joined in greeting. The throne is framed by large ornate floral arches in pink, purple and white. Smaller garlanded arrangements and a brass lamp stand near the front of the dais. Fluorescent lights and ceiling fans are visible overhead, and a balcony railing runs along the right side. The seated attendees on the floor wear white garments. Partial faces and a few devotees appear in the foreground at lower left.

Photograph of a crowded stage at a Gurupoornima celebration, with a large ornate golden throne (peetha) at centre framed by a decorated white-and-orange arch with red and yellow pillars. A figure in saffron/orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands at the throne, while devotees in white dhotis and kurtas, and women in white and coloured saris, crowd around, some offering pineapples in the foreground. A cameraman films from the right. Approximately 30 people are visible.

A photograph inside a hall with a red carpet and a floral rangoli of marigolds and petals on the floor. A man in a white turban and yellow-and-white garments, with long hair and multicoloured flower garlands, sits on a raised seat at right while another man in white with an orange shawl sits in front of him, facing away from the camera. Several people in white or cream clothing stand along the carpet, including a woman in a white sari with an orange shawl at left and a woman in a cream sari with a dark badge at centre. A cameraman films from behind a standing fan, and a fan is placed near the seated figure. Walls and a cooler are visible at the back.

Indoor darshan session in a hall with white walls, red curtains and framed pictures. A seated figure on the left wears an orange-saffron turban and orange-saffron shawl, reclining or seated on a white-draped couch with a silver bowl and flowers in the foreground. Devotees in white clothing line up before him: a woman in white sari bends forward and reaches toward the figure, while a man in white dhoti and shirt places a hand on her shoulder and others stand with palms pressed together. Garlands and flowers lie on the cloth at the lower right. Visible people number about fifteen to twenty.

A photograph of a ceremony under a white tent with yellow and green fringed trim. A long-haired figure in a cream and gold outfit with a floral garland sits on an ornate carved throne with a brown and red backdrop and a decorated arch above. Devotees in white dhotis, white saris with gold borders and saffron shawls gather around a low white platform strewn with petals. Several people reach toward the seated figure with hands extended, and others stand with hands folded in respect. Garlands and flower strings hang along the throne and the platform edge. A pale red-and-purple decorated canopy hangs overhead. A man in the foreground wears white with a rudraksha mala, and an elderly man at the right wears white with a lanyard badge. The scene suggests a pushpabhishekam offering being received on a throne.
