A photograph inside a temple-style shrine room with deity murtis seated on gold-framed thrones with maroon velvet backdrops. The central figure is a decorated deity murti in silk and jewelled ornaments with a tall black cylindrical crown, and beside it are smaller decorated murtis. In the foreground a gilded Nandi bull sits on a purple cloth, with brass lamps, a kalasha-style vessel, trays and offerings on the floor. On the right, a bearded man in a rust-red dhoti and wrap with a large rudraksha mala points toward the Nandi, while audience members' heads are visible at the lower left edge. Gold-framed niches and a yellow wall complete the setting.

Photo inside a temple shrine room with a dimly lit yellow wall. In the foreground, golden deity murtis sit on ornate gold thrones with maroon velvet backdrops; the seated figures wear gold and green silk garments, sequined embroidery and a black head covering. A brass nandi bull sits at lower right beside brass oil lamps, a kalasha-style vessel and small offering trays with lamps and kumkum-like items. A man with a shaved head, wearing a rust-orange shawl and rudraksha-style beads, stands at right with his arm extended toward a small gold arch. Only partially visible persons appear at the edges.

Photograph of a shrine room with three ornate golden thrones lined with red velvet curtains, seated with richly dressed deity murtis (statues) in gold and jewelled garments, dark caps, and garlands. Brass lamps, a small kalasha-style vessel, a golden nandi (bull) and offering plates sit on the floor in front. Two people's heads are visible in the lower foreground, seen from behind. The people are partially visible and the central statues are not living persons; the setting suggests a darshan display.

A seated man in saffron-brown robes sits in a red and silver chair before a shrine of gold-framed deity statues. He wears a gold beaded necklace, a gold pendant, a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair. Behind him stand several painted statues: a goddess on the left holding a trident-like staff, a seated figure in the centre with garlands and a kalasha-like base, and a standing sage figure in brown with a garland. Brass oil lamps, red curtains and carved stone pillars frame the scene. Statues and the throne are not physical people.

A photograph of a long-haired man in a rust-red robe walking through a room with wooden chairs and pink upholstered seats. Two gilded arched shrines stand against the wall: the left holds richly dressed deity murtis in red and green cloth, and the right holds a Ganesha murti with an orange-and-gold garment, jewelled ornaments and a purple curtain backdrop. A purple mat and an orange cushion lie on the chairs, and a framed photo hangs above. Swamiji (probable): the long-haired man in the rust-red robe with long dark hair and a rudraksha-style neck mala matches the page's reference, so the candidate is in_person, though appearance cues are partial.
