On the right, a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-striped cushion wears an orange turban and orange robe, with red and white garlands and a beaded necklace, hands folded in greeting; an appearance-based candidate, a person, sits here. A bald priest in a rust-red dhoti with gold border stands at center-left, holding a brass lamp with lit flame toward a gold-and-red garlanded deity murti on a gold throne-like seat at left. A tall brass lamp stand stands near the rocks. Mostly warm, rich colours of gold, maroon and green.

A stage set for a satsang with a golden throne at right, where a man with a saffron-orange turban and gold-and-red garlands sits with palms pressed together in namaste.

Beside him a golden murti of a deity pair is seated on a rock-like base, and a standing figure in rust-red robes faces the stage at left.

A photograph of a temple-style stage with a golden nandi bull mount and deity murti set in a gold arch, flanked by two gold-framed alcoves draped with marigold garlands and multicoloured canopies. A seated figure in an orange-red robe and red turban sits with palms pressed together in front of a silver framed panel, with a microphone stand beside him. On the left, a standing attendant in orange dhoti and bare upper body stands near lit oil lamps, and on the right a deity murti in blue and pink garments sits in the alcove. Gold figurines flank the central arch. The seated figure has a distinctive turban and orange robe, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm him as a person.

A photograph of a ritual on a stage with a deep red curtain and a painted backdrop of a large tree with green foliage. On the left, a golden horse-mounted deity murti is garlanded with multicoloured flowers. In the centre, a bald priest in a rust-red dhoti and shawl with a gold border stands bending forward, holding a lit brass aarti lamp toward the altar. Potted plants and a pile of grey rocks sit in front of the backdrop. Seated on the right on a gold-framed throne with red cushions is a person in an orange-red turban and red garments with a garland, hands folded in prayer, a gold deity figure with a crown beside him. Only the two people are physically present, the priest and the seated figure.
