Indoor communal kitchen serving food at a steel counter. A man in an orange turban and orange robe, with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala, wears clear gloves and uses a ladle to serve yellow food onto steel plates held out by people in the line. A steel bucket sits on the counter beside him. A man in a white shirt with a pendant necklace stands behind him, a woman in a white salwar with a long braid holds a plate, and a woman in an orange sari stands at the right edge. Tiled walls, fluorescent lights and a wall-mounted insect trap are visible, with more people in the background.

Photo inside a plain grey-walled room where people serve food from steel vessels at an annadan-style meal. A bald young man in white dhoti with a purple sacred thread and beaded necklace holds a serving ladle over a pot. Beside him stands a man in an orange garment with a pink and yellow flower garland and forehead tilak, holding a ladle and serving sweet food onto a plate. A bearded older man in orange robes and a vibhuti-marked forehead holds a steel plate with a yellow sweet. Another man in white with rudraksha beads stands behind the serving table, and an elderly man in orange clothing stands at the right edge. A small orange and white cloth hangs on the wall above.

Night photograph of a crowd of devotees walking in a procession across a sandy open ground. Many wear white clothing with saffron/orange shawls draped over their shoulders, and several women wear saris and long hair in braids. A colourful umbrella with a red, yellow and green canopy is held up toward the centre. A large dark shape, possibly a statue or structure, stands at left, and a canopied tent with banners and posters lines the right side. The procession appears to be moving toward the left under string lights and a dark sky.

A photograph of a communal meal in a temporary open-sided tent with thatched roof. In the centre, a shaved-headed man in saffron-orange robes and a long orange-beaded garland stands barefoot, leaning forward to serve from a vessel toward the row of seated people. Rows of seated sannyasis and devotees in orange and saffron robes, several in pink, yellow and white head cloths, sit on the floor before green banana-leaf plates heaped with white rice, flowers, and small cups of water. A man in white dhoti and shirt with a light shawl stands nearby, and a few people in white clothes stand along the back. Behind them hang banners and posters, one showing a smiling man in a red-orange turban, and an orange-clad figure sits on a raised platform in the background.

A night-time photo of a crowd of devotees gathered under a thatched-roof shelter with white walls and wooden posts. Most men wear white dhotis or shirts with orange saffron shawls draped over their shoulders, and women wear white saris with orange shawls; a few wear rudraksha or metal pendant necklaces. One man in the centre tilts his head back to drink from a small steel cup, and others stand close together talking or looking on. A woman in the lower right wears a red bindi and holds her hands near her chest. No clearly identifiable central figure is shown, and no printed captions are visible in the frame.

A crowded queue of devotees inside a temple hall with a thatched palm-leaf roof supported by wooden poles and blue steel pillars. Many men wear white shirts and dhotis, with a few in striped or checked shirts, while a woman in a green sari and a woman in a teal top stand among them. Devotees press along wooden barricades, and a white bucket hangs from a pole on the right. A figure in an orange robe stands at the left edge, and a woman in a white sari with a brass vessel walks near the left pillars. Faces are partially visible and some people are cut off by the frame.
