Indoor ritual photo on a red carpet strewn with flower petals. A seated man on the left wears an orange-brown turban, a red and white flower garland, a dark brown shawl, and red and orange wrist bands; he holds out a red fruit toward a man on the right in a red collared shirt and dark trousers who holds a red fruit with both hands. In front, a kneeling person in white with a rudraksha mala is seated, and a woman in a yellow saree stands beside them with her hands joined. Behind, a person in red robes and a rudraksha mala stands near a golden deity murti in ornate gold garments. A small figure with bowed head is at the bottom edge.

A photograph of a devotee in white dhoti and shawl with gold border, a rudraksha mala and white vibhuti marks on the forehead and chest, bowing with palms joined while a woman in a black blouse with a dense red-and-white flower garland and flowers in her hair holds a green lime or fruit above his head in a blessing gesture. Other men in white dhotis and a few in dark shirts stand in the background of what appears to be a ritual or darshan gathering. The man bowing is not an identifiable a person candidate by appearance, so he is described by role as a devotee receiving a blessing.

A seated figure with long dark matted hair, wearing a large white and orange flower garland and reddish-orange clothing with red beaded bracelets, receives a visitor leaning forward in a black t-shirt, who extends a hand holding an offering. A man in a white dhoti and kurta with a rudraksha mala and tilak leans in beside them. Behind them stand a woman in a dark green sari, another man in white and a man in a white kurta. Red curtains, a carved stone pillar and a framed deity picture are visible, with scattered flower petals on a red carpet. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, orange garments and rudraksha-style adornments are consistent with a person presence; the visible cues are limited, so identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a ritual blessing at an indoor satsang event. A kneeling man in white shirt and white trousers, with a bald head, moustache and orange wristband, holds a small green fruit or offering in cupped hands. Behind him, a standing man in white dhoti with gold border wears a dark rudraksha mala and a gold pendant, and rests a hand on the kneeling man's shoulder. At right, a large garland of red roses and white jasmine rests on a seated figure dressed in black. Other people in white and pale clothing, some wearing ID badges, stand in the background.
