A seated figure in a rust-brown robe and a large black turban, wearing a red, white and blue beaded garland and gold ornaments, smiles while handing a folded white paper to a man in a white shirt who bows with joined palms. Behind the seated figure stands a gold throne with ornate carving and a leopard-print cushion. A gold deity murti stands between them, and gold lamps, a marigold garland and a standing attendant in white are visible in the background.

A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red turban with a gold crescent ornament and rudraksha beads, wearing a red-orange garment and a white and orange floral garland, smiling as he holds a small white folded paper or cloth. Before him, a bearded man in a black turban and white kurta bends forward with his head lowered while a woman in white and blue sari-style dress and a woman in a leopard-print top attend nearby. A woman in a pale sari stands in the background beside a fan and a window in a warmly lit room.

A seated man in a rust-red turban with a jewelled brooch, rust-red robe, white and multicoloured garland, gold armbands and bangles smiles and extends a hand to a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti, who holds up cupped hands. The seated man sits on a red zebra-striped cushioned throne against an ornate gold throne back, with a gold lion-head ornament beside him. Behind them, a woman in an orange sari and a rudraksha mala stands among garlands and hanging fabrics. Partially visible at left, a shaved-headed man with a white tilak sits near a gold ritual vessel. The setting suggests a darshan-style ceremony with garlanded offerings and gold decor.

A seated figure in a rust-red robe and matching red turban sits on a gold-trimmed throne beneath an ornate, flower-decorated backdrop of yellow, orange and red marigold garlands. The seated figure wears a purple and white flower garland, a gold necklace with a large pendant, and gold bangles, and gestures with one hand while smiling. A man in a white shirt and white trousers bends forward at right, holding a dark tablet or folder toward the seated figure. Gold lion-form ornaments and a microphone stand are visible at left, and a stone pillar appears at right. a person is indicated by the turban, ornate gold jewellery and red robe, though the appearance is not definitive.

A photograph of a bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a pink and white flower garland and a red bindi, seated smiling on an ornate silver-and-red throne in front of a large dark stone-textured backdrop draped with orange cloth and sculptures of seated figures. A silver trident stands at left. Two people in white clothing kneel beside the throne: a bald man at lower left and a woman with long reddish-brown hair at right, who reaches toward the seated man's shoulder. A starry blue background fills the top of the frame.

A seated man in a saffron-orange wrap and leopard-print lower cloth, wearing a long pink and white rose garland with green leaves, sits on a red velvet throne with a gold lion-head armrest. He holds a folded white paper out to a kneeling devotee in a white shirt and orange shawl, whose hands are pressed together in anjali. A tall silver trident stands beside them, with a gold-toned base. Behind them a banner shows temple imagery in red and orange, and women in orange and white stand in the background. Appearance cues are ambiguous, so the seated figure's identity is uncertain.
