Outdoor photo at an ashram-style courtyard with pink buildings and a corrugated roof. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on a white cloth-draped chair, facing away toward the left. Several men in white dhotis and shirts stand and move around a long white table holding gilded deity murtis, including figures in red, pink and orange garments, and a white figure with a golden halo. A man in white dhoti and an orange shawl stands at right. Plain brick blocks and dirt ground surround the scene.

Outdoor puja under a corrugated metal roof with palm trees behind. In the foreground a shaved-headed priest in white dhoti and shawl with gold border, seated before a low table laden with flower garlands, red and yellow flowers, fruit and offering plates, performs a ritual with a small vessel. Facing him stands a row of about ten devotees, women in colourful saris and kurtas, some with hands folded in prayer. An empty red cushioned throne draped with a flower garland sits at left. Several people sit on the ground at right. No visible candidate for the a person figure is physically present; the throne is empty.

Devotees in white dhotis and orange or yellow shawls gather on an orange cloth before an ornate golden throne at a temple shrine. A seated figure with a shaved head, white cloth draped over the shoulders and a beaded mala rests on the gold throne with a red cushion. A tall man in an orange robe stands nearby, while a bowing devotee in white clothes leans toward the seated figure. Behind them, a golden deity murti is decorated with flower garlands, and brass lamps and stone carvings frame the shrine. Petals are scattered on the floor.

A photograph of a seated devotional gathering in a red-draped hall with golden ornate throne and lit oil lamps. A figure in an orange-maroon turban, floral garland and maroon-orange robes sits on a gilded throne at right, with a small brass plate before him. Around him, many devotees sit on the floor in white and red clothes, several holding lit oil lamps (diyas). Some wear red or saffron shawls, and a few men in white dhotis with orange borders sit close by. A large golden deity murti stands at the far right edge. Tall oil lamps stand on the left, and a camera tripod is visible behind the seated group.

Outdoor temple-style scene under a thatched wooden pavilion with red-and-white striped cloth wrapped around posts. In the foreground an ornately carved golden-and-dark-wood palanquin or throne stands. Behind it, a man in a white dhoti and white shirt holds a mala of beads and stands near a figure in saffron-orange robes with a gold necklace, holding a trident-like staff. Several devotees in white and saffron, including a man in a white head covering in the lower right, gather around. A photographer in white clothing points a camera. Umbrellas and palm fronds appear in the background. Whether any figure is a person cannot be established from appearance alone.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate golden throne with a golden canopy above, smiling and gesturing with outstretched arms to a seated audience. Two standing attendants in white dhotis with gold borders and beaded necklaces flank the throne; one holds a fan-like object. The large crowd sits on the floor in front of a red-and-white draped tent with pillars and a deity murti in the background. Bundles of blue-and-red items lie in the foreground. The figure's appearance is not clearly established, so the candidate is shown only by role and clothing.

Outdoor ashram scene under a large banyan tree. On the right, a long-haired man with a yellow head wrap and gold-bordered white dhoti sits on a white plastic chair beside a low circular platform, wearing a rudraksha mala. Behind him stands a cameraman in white operating a video camera on a tripod, and a man in white with a red-and-gold shawl. To the left, a group of about eight men and women in white dhotis and kurtas stand in a row, one in orange garments and another in orange sits cross-legged near brass lamps and a metal urn. Brass oil lamps and a white-covered table with a rug on the ground suggest a ritual setup.
