A photograph inside a hall with a white draped ceiling and colourful striped hanging banners. A bare-footed man in orange robes with long swept-back hair and a flower garland stands centre, receiving a silver tray from a shaven-headed man in orange robes at right. Around them, devotees in white clothing press palms together in namaskar, and others in white, green and blue saris and shawls stand along the walls. A white-robed man at left wears a rudraksha-like necklace. The scene resembles a welcoming or blessing ceremony, with a glimpse of a shrine and gold ornaments in the background. Several people are visible, about a dozen.

A photograph inside a bright hall with pale pink walls and a tall painted pillar. A central man with long dark swept-back hair wears a white draped garment, a red-cord necklace, a rudraksha mala with gold ornaments, a red tilak and gold armbands, walking forward. Beside him a shaved-headed attendant in an orange robe and gold-beaded necklace carries a white tray, and on the right an orange-clad person holds a silver plate of offerings. Behind them a man in yellow and white stands near others in white and yellow clothing, and a woman in white and a woman in teal clothing are visible in the background. The scene looks like a temple ritual procession with offerings being carried.

A central figure in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha mala stands at the front, extending a hand over a silver tray held by a young man in white with a yellow shawl. Lines of devotees in white and pastel saris and kurtas stand on both sides with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Ceiling fans hang overhead, and a banner is visible at the far end of the hall. Some people wear white garments with lanyards.

A photograph inside a hall with a tiled floor, white walls, ceiling fans and decorated painted pillars. In the centre a man with long dark hair tied back wears a sleeveless orange saffron garment and orange dhoti, walking barefoot across an orange cloth toward a tray of fruit, flowers and offerings at lower right. Around him a row of devotees in white clothes stand with palms pressed together in namaste, some holding small red-orange items; a man at left wears a white shirt and a beaded necklace. The orange-clad figure has distinctive long hair and saffron robes, consistent with a person presence, though the appearance is only partly visible from this angle. Several people in white stand along the left side and back of the hall.
