A photograph of a queue inside a white-walled hall with a wall clock and open doorway. Devotees in white and cream saris and dhotis with gold borders stand in a line behind silver barrier posts along a red-and-woven mat aisle. At the centre, a man in an orange-brown dhoti and shawl carries a brass tray with garlands and offerings toward the doorway, while a man in a striped shirt photographs him. Several other people stand nearby, and a woman in a white sari with gold border is at right.

A photograph of a large tiled hall where a long line of people in white clothing stands in two rows, many wearing flower garlands and some with hands joined in namaste. A woman in the front row wears a beige salwar with a dark orange garland and bare feet. A wall clock, a wall sign reading in small print, red stacking chairs and white draped fabric with hanging orange and colourful decorations surround them. The floor has a thin dark red border line guiding the rows.

Photograph inside a white-walled hall decorated with yellow marigold garlands and a bundle of green coconuts near an open doorway. Several women in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas stand in the foreground, one with a saffron head covering and hands joined in namaste. Beside them, women in white saris and a woman in a white sari with a black beaded necklace press palms together. A crowd of men and boys in white and yellow clothes stands behind a metal railing, some holding up phones. A blue sign with Kannada and English text and a wall clock are visible. A woman in a teal sari stands at the left edge. No figure can be identified as a person with confidence.

A photograph taken down a narrow concrete aisle lined with steel handrails, with devotees seated on both sides. Seated people on the left wear white and pink and some have head coverings; on the right a man in a dark cap and red-and-navy jacket sits near the rail. At the far end, a crowd stands in white kurtas, white dhotis, a mustard-yellow shirt and a lanyard, gathered before a dark archway beneath a wall clock. The setting appears to be a temple hall during a darshan line.

Indoor photograph of an ashram hall with a white tent canopy, white plastic chairs and striped floor runner. Devotees in white saris and salwar kameez stand with palms pressed together in namaskar along both sides of an aisle. A central figure in a saffron-orange robe with white floral garlands walks forward smiling, flanked by monks in orange and white. Hanging yellow and patterned cloth decorations and wall fans are visible. Several women wear yellow and floral clothing, and a wall clock and framed signage are in the background.

A crowded indoor corridor at a welcome line for an Inner Awakening programme, with delegates queuing toward a doorway opening onto a flat outdoor area. Many women and men wear white clothes with bright yellow shawls or stoles, and several wear marigold garlands. A woman in a white sari with a purple-trimmed bag at left is handed an item from a table, while others in white and yellow hold small bags and papers. Red flowers hang on a pole beside the doorway, and a rudraksha mala is visible on one man at right. No a person candidate is clearly visible.

Photo of a ritual welcome inside a hall with white walls and a wall clock. A bare-footed young man in saffron-orange robes and a beaded orange-and-white mala walks forward, smiling, with hands together in greeting while a man in white dhoti and shawl with a crown-like headpiece carries a brass kalasha with a flower on a tray. Saffron-robed sannyasis stand behind, a striped parasol and a decorated umbrella are held overhead, and a green leafy garland hangs above. Devotees in white and one in yellow stand on both sides with palms pressed together in namaste, and rangoli-style floor designs lie on the ground.
