Outdoor scene at a temple-style building with arched white columns and red stacking chairs. A woman in a white sari with red border holds a brass aarti tray with a coconut, leaves, flowers and an oil lamp, smiling. A central figure with long dark hair wears a red sleeveless top, orange-saffron dhoti-style garment and a red-and-white flower garland, standing barefoot on the step. A man in white kneels at the threshold, touching the ground with his hand. A boy in a white t-shirt and denim shorts with a black bead necklace watches. A smiling man in orange-yellow robes stands at right, and an older man in white stands in the street. A blue van is parked behind.

A photograph of five people in white ceremonial clothing standing outside a building corridor with a grey door marked STALL 1 in painted letters. On the left, a man in white kurta and dark sunglasses holds a long red and white flower garland. Beside him, a woman in a white sari gestures with her hand near a white-draped table. Behind them, three men in white shirts and dhotis stand, some barefoot, one wearing a lanyard. The setting is a concrete walkway with green-painted walls.

A photograph taken from above of a yellow-walled stairway at an outdoor site. A figure in saffron-orange robes with a large red and white flower garland climbs the steps, hands at their sides. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers on the left stands with palms pressed together in namaste, a dark cap on his head, and shoes placed on the steps. Several people in white clothing and a woman in a white sari with green border stand along the path, marigold garlands line the yellow pillar and walls, and red plastic chairs are visible beyond.

Photo of a ritual at a narrow white-walled passage with an open doorway onto green trees. A figure in saffron-orange robes, an orange turban with white and pink flowers, and a long white-and-red jasmine garland kneels or bows low on the concrete floor, scattered with pink and white petals and a small coconut or offering. Around them, a woman in a cream silk sari holds a brass pot with green leaves, a woman in white with folded hands stands nearby, a man in white dhoti and shirt with a rudraksha mala and glasses stands at right with hands folded, and several other men in white and saffron watch.

A ribbon-cutting or inauguration at a shop doorway with a multicolour tie-dye canopy strung with marigold garlands. A figure in saffron-orange robes wearing a long red-and-white flower garland and long swept-back hair holds a small tray at the center, facing a woman in a white sari with a blue border and a man in a white kurta who stand together at the ribbon. To the left a shaved-headed man in orange dhoti and saffron shawl stands beside a woman in a cream sari holding a brass vessel with flowers. A man in a checked shirt watches behind, and a small child is partially visible at the far left. A flower-decorated table with a bouquet sits at right. A yellow tape ribbon stretches across the opening, and an outdoor landscape with trees shows through the doorway.

A man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a red tilak stands in a red-framed glass doorway, a flower garland of white and red blossoms around his neck, cutting or holding a white ribbon stretched across the entrance as a ribbon-cutting opening. Surrounding him, several men in orange and saffron robes and white dhotis press their palms together in anjali, one holds a tray of flowers, a small child peeks from the left, and a rudraksha mala is visible on one man's neck. A red-roofed open shelter and trees are in the background. The scene reads as an inauguration ceremony at a temple-style entrance.
