Overhead photograph of a brass puja arrangement on orange and maroon cloth. At the top sits a framed photograph of a figure in orange robes with a silver bead garland, seated on a golden throne flanked by lion-like figures, under a halo. Around it are brass items: a bell with a handle, a small deity murti with a leaf, a scalloped bowl with flower petals, a copper cup, a spoon, a conch shell, a small lamp and a brass plate. The figure in the frame is a depiction only, and no physical person is visible. The framed image is not clearly labelled with a name, so no caption is attributed. Scene contains no physical people.

A photograph of a ceremonial puja setup on a low orange mat in front of a large framed portrait of a man in an orange-red turban, dark rudraksha-style bead necklace and orange robe, shown against a forest backdrop. The portrait is labelled with the copyright line visible in the image. Smaller framed pictures of a seated figure in orange robes appear beside it. In the foreground are brass plates, oil lamps, a brass bell, a kalasha-like vessel, a small silver cup, pink flowers and green leaves. A person with bare shoulders in orange clothing sits at left with their back to the camera, facing the altar. Swamiji (probable): the framed portrait shows a man in an orange turban, bead necklace and orange robe, consistent with the page's reference.

A brass puja setup in the foreground on an orange cloth. A framed portrait stands on a small easel, showing a long-haired figure in orange robes with gold ornaments, which is a printed picture rather than a physical person. Beside it sit a small carved wooden deity murti, a brass bell, a brass oil lamp with a lit flame, a brass bowl, a marigold and red flower arrangement, rudraksha beads on a plate and a steel flask. Blurred figures in red robes with gold trim stand in the background. The scene is a ritual arrangement.

A puja arrangement on an orange and tan cloth in front of a seated person wearing a red garment. A framed photograph labelled "PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA" shows a man in saffron robes with a white bead necklace, seated before a banyan tree and raising one hand. Beside it, a smaller printed photo shows a man with a garland and red-orange clothing. Brass plates hold rose petals, a small deity murti, a black stone, a conch shell and a kalasha, with incense sticks and brass vessels around the tray.

A shrine table is set before a large framed photograph of a smiling man with long dark hair, sitting cross-legged in saffron-orange robes, wearing a white bead necklace with a pendant, raising one hand in blessing, and seated in front of a large banyan tree with aerial roots. The framed portrait is a printed depiction, not a physical person. Peacock feathers stand in vases on either side, red roses are placed on top of the frame, and a small portrait of a woman in pink sits at the lower left. The table holds brass oil lamps, a lit diya, bowls of flower petals and kumkum, a brass kalasha-like vessel, and a deity murti dressed in a green and red silk garment with red and white flower garlands. No physical people are present.

In front, a brass plate holds white and red flower petals, and a rudraksha mala lies on an orange and yellow cloth. A brass bell, a brass cup with a spoon, a white conch shell, an incense stick in a holder and a small brass container complete the setup. No people are visible.
