Inside a temple hall, a bare-chested seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, a large multicolour flower garland and gold armlets receives a folded orange cloth from a man in white kurta and glasses who bows forward. Behind them stand a standing woman in a red-orange sari, a woman in white with an orange shawl, and other attendees in white. Gold and brass lamps, a trident, a kalasha-style gold vessel and a deity murti with floral decoration fill the background; a red carpet covers the floor. A man with a beard and rudraksha mala sits at right.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long swept-back hairstyle, wearing a multi-strand gold-bead necklace, gold bangles on the upper arm and wrists, and a white tilak on the forehead, extends a hand in blessing over a kneeling man in a white shirt with a blue lanyard. Gold-tone ritual objects sit on a red-and-leopard-print cushioned seat in front. Women in white and saffron clothing stand behind, one with a rudraksha mala, and a child in white stands among them. A red carpet and red curtains frame the hall.

Beside him, a woman in a gold saree and a small child stand; behind them a banner shows a figure in an orange turban. To the right, a shaved-headed man in white with a large beaded gold necklace stands near a wooden box. Potted plants and red-covered chairs appear in the background.

Night-time photo of a diksha-style blessing.

Photo of a man with hair tied in a bun, bare-chested, wearing a saffron-orange shawl over the shoulders, a rudraksha mala with a red tassel, and a red-and-gold cloth at the waist, placing his right hand on the head of a young boy in white kurta who bows and holds a red cloth packet. Behind them a seated man in white clothes and a rudraksha mala watches, a boy in an orange shirt stands at left, and onlookers, including a boy in white, stand near a camera on a tripod. The setting is an indoor hall with pale walls, consistent with a blessing or darshan moment. The man in saffron is distinguished by his bun, saffron shawl and beaded necklace.

A photograph at an outdoor ceremony under a pink draped tent with a red carpet. In the foreground, a figure in an orange-red sleeveless top with long swept-back dark hair pours or offers something over a silver bowl, beside a gold-coloured ornate vessel draped with an orange cloth and pink flowers. A woman in a white dress with a teal sash and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace stands with palms pressed together in namaste. A man bows his head toward a small boy kneeling and touching the carpet, while a person in orange robes with a gold necklace at right holds a silver plate. Marigold garlands line the carpet and devotees stand in the background.

A photograph of a seated man on a red-cushioned gold throne, wearing an ochre-red robe draped over one shoulder and layered rudraksha mala necklaces, with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. He smiles and reaches toward a young man in a white shirt with an orange-red shawl, who leans in with his hand on the seated man's arm. Behind them, a woman in an orange-red sari with gold border and rudraksha mala stands beside another woman in white with gold jewellery. A gold-carved backrest, a green plant and a tall gold staff frame the scene. The seated man's appearance matches the a person cues of long swept-back hair, ochre robe and rudraksha malas, but identification is uncertain.
