A photograph of a ritual scene inside a covered hall with a bright, hazy light. A figure seated on an ornate gold-and-carved throne wears a maroon turban, a red and white beaded garland and maroon robes with gold trim, and extends a hand to receive a folded maroon cloth from a woman in a maroon sari with orange border who stands at right. Behind them a man in a maroon shawl and rudraksha mala sits cross-legged. Carved and painted deity murti and decorated figures stand in the background, with another seated devotee in orange-and-maroon garments at right edge. The throne seat is adorned with gold carvings.

A photograph of a VIP visit at a Kalpataru darshan event. A seated figure on a red and gold throne wears a saffron turban, a white and pink flower garland, rudraksha beads and an orange shawl over saffron robes; the figure smiles and reaches forward to accept a book or booklet from a man in a white kurta with an orange shawl, who stands with folded hands. Behind them a man in a grey shirt and a cameraman with a tripod stand near a red backdrop, and a woman in red sits near the throne. Another person in white kurta bends in to offer something, and a red-and-white floral backdrop frames the scene. The seated figure may be a person based on the saffron turban, garland and rudraksha cues, but this is uncertain.
