Outdoor photo on a dirt path shaded by green trees, with a long line of devotees standing on both sides. In the foreground a young woman in a white sari with a gold border and an orange shawl holds a tray with white flower garlands. Behind her a row of men in white dhotis and white shirts, some with white ritual scarves, stand near a white-covered table. On the right, women in white and orange saris stand facing the path, and an elderly woman in a white sari stands on the path. A small child in a pink shirt stands beside the tray. The scene looks like a ceremonial welcome lined up along an ashram road, and no clearly identifiable a person figure is visible.

Night outdoor scene at a temple courtyard with a large crowd of devotees dressed in white, many with palms pressed together in namaskar. A man in white with an orange-red shawl and a garland of yellow and orange flowers stands near the centre, holding a small white cloth bundle. A woman in white holds a small child. Yellow flower petals lie on the ground. Behind them stands a tall copper-coloured kalasha or temple spire, a white vehicle, palm trees and stone sculptures. A figure in orange appears at the far right. a person's presence is not clearly established from appearance, so the central man is described by role only.

A photograph of a long procession of devotees walking along a red-earth path beneath a canopy of broad-leaved trees during a festival. Most men wear plain white shirts and white dhotis, and several wear flower garlands of white and yellow blossoms; some carry small brass vessels and yellow offerings. Women in white saris and one woman in a red sari stand among them. A figure in a white kurta and white dhoti walks toward the right, and a few people raise saffron and colourful flags on poles. Dappled sunlight filters through the leaves over the group.

A photograph of a long outdoor line of devotees standing in a sandy open ground beneath trees and a partly cloudy sky. Most people wear white: men in white shirts and dhotis or trousers, women in white or off-white sarees and some with orange or coloured borders. A man at the left edge in a white shirt holds an orange cloth bag, and a woman with a grey handbag stands nearby. On the right, older men in white and a man in a brown dhoti stand at the end of the queue. A wooden railing sits at the lower left. Several people are visible and no person is identified as a person, so the figures are simply devotees waiting in line.

Outdoor photo of a ritual procession under large shady trees beside a stone-arched shrine garlanded with yellow and white flowers. A central figure with curly dark hair and a crown-like headpiece wears an orange-saffron garment with a gold border and a garland, bowing with palms joined over a dark reflective pool set into the ground. Around him, men in white dhotis and white shirts wear orange shawls, some holding round red-and-gold ceremonial fans with a black centre. On the right, women in white and orange saris and a woman in a pale green sari stand with hands folded in namaskar, and children in light clothing join them. Pink flower offerings are placed near the shrine.

A photograph of a covered open-air courtyard at an ashram, with a tiled floor and a corrugated metal roof supported by red steel posts, decorated with hanging colourful tassel ornaments.

Women in cream, yellow and white saris and men in white dhotis and white shawls are visible. On the right, a group of monks or priests in saffron and orange robes stands near a red structure and a tall decorated pillar, with palm trees and a stone statue in the background.
