A close photo of a pair of gold-toned metal sandals or padukas placed on a maroon and gold brocade cloth. In front of them sits a flat brass plate heaped with rose petals in red, magenta, orange and yellow, with a yellow chrysanthemum bloom and small mounds of red kumkum powder. No people are visible.

A photograph of a shaved-headed... no, a man with shoulder-length dark hair standing bare-chested with a brownish-orange dhoti wrapped at the waist, palms pressed together in namaste and rudraksha malas around his neck. He stands at left in a plain cream-walled room. At right, a tall printed banner shows a seated figure in a red turban and red-orange robes, with a heavy gold necklace and bracelets, hand raised in blessing, seated on a tiger-patterned cushion. Below the banner, an orange-draped altar holds brass lamps, a kalasha-style pot, a Nataraja figurine, a small framed photo, a red-capped jar and a small red flag. The man at left has no distinctive visible cues beyond the malas and dhoti, so his identity is uncertain.
