A photograph of a seated figure on a red and zebra-striped seat, back toward the camera, wearing an orange saffron robe and a long garland of white flowers and green leaves, with a gold ornament at the neck. Before him a man in a white shirt and white trousers, wearing spectacles, a rudraksha mala and a gold bangle, clasps the seated figure's hands in a gesture of respect. Behind them a younger person in a white top with a yellow shawl stands, and another person in orange sits beside a bench. Flower arrangements of marigolds and chrysanthemums, a tray of red apples and green leaves, and a plastic water bottle sit in the foreground. Gold curtains hang in the background.

Indoor photo in a room with orange curtains and a wooden floor. A woman with long dark hair, wearing a red-orange sari with a red-and-white flower garland and gold bangles, sits smiling in a brown upholstered chair with a carved back. Beside her, a bald man in an orange-and-saffron robe with rudraksha and a sandalwood-ornamented arm is seated, receiving offerings; a second man in saffron stands at a small table with a red and white tray. Devotees in white dhotis and kurtas, one with a rudraksha mala, stand behind. A man in white bends forward offering a tray of fruit, apples, and flowers. Total physical people visible: six.

A seated figure in a rust-orange robe and white flower garland sits on a red-upholstered gold-framed throne with a gilded lion-form figure at its base, extending hands toward a bowl of offerings. An older bald man in orange robes bends forward to receive or present something from the seated figure. Behind them, several people in orange robes, rudraksha malas and a woman in white stand in a red-carpeted hall with a floor fan and framed photos on the wall. Offerings of bananas sit in a box in front. The seated figure has long dark hair and ornate gold-framed chair styling, but the appearance is not clearly enough distinctive to confirm a candidate.

A photograph of a living room visit. A smiling figure in an orange saffron robe and a red-and-white flower garland sits on a white-draped armchair, holding out red apples to a man bending forward with palms pressed together in greeting. The man wears a white shirt, grey trousers and glasses, and a red shawl hangs over his arm. Behind them a woman in white and a second man in white stand near a side table holding a silver tray of pineapple, apples and oranges, beside a small brass horse figurine. A red sofa and sheer curtains frame the room. On the right edge a woman in a floral sari is partly visible. The orange-robed figure is a person by appearance: long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and the garland, with saffron clothing as the main cue, though the hair and garland are not especially distinctive. Visible flower garland and fruit offerings suggest a devotional greeting.

A seated figure in an orange-brown robe with a white flower garland and a red bracelet sits on a red zebra-striped sofa with gold lion-head armrests, leaning forward to offer something to a kneeling man in a white shirt and dark trousers who holds a banana. Behind them, two women in white and orange robes with rudraksha malas stand near a black speaker, and a woman in an orange sari with a garland stands on red carpet. A wooden tray holds rudraksha beads and bananas in the foreground, with a red curtain and wall photos behind.

A photograph of a ritual setting in a plain room with a white-curtained window and a tiled floor. A bare-chested man with a rudraksha mala stands at left. An elderly priest in white dhoti and shawl with orange-and-green borders, wearing a green bead necklace, holds out offerings. A young person in an orange robe and a long garland of yellow and red flowers stands centre, hands together and receiving a small green item. A bearded man in orange at right holds a green offering. A steel plate of fruit, including bananas and apples, sits on the floor in front. The scene looks like a puja or blessing ceremony.

A photograph of a ceremonial gathering in front of a deity display draped with marigold garlands. A person in an orange-saffron turban, orange robe and multi-strand rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and places a hand on the shoulder of a bald man in a white shirt who bends forward. Beside them, a wooden tray holds oranges, gold-coloured ritual implements, rudraksha malas and sweets, with a potted green plant nearby. Standing behind are a man in white with a rudraksha mala, women in cream and orange saris, and a woman in a cream sari with a long braid, hands folded. The seated figure has distinctive saffron turban, rudraksha and ornate gold-throne cues consistent with the page's a person reference, though the identity remains uncertain from appearance alone.
