Close photo of a ritual exchange in a warmly lit hall with a pink floral backdrop. In the foreground, a figure in a rust-orange garment with gold trim extends hands, passing or offering something small. On the right, a smiling man wearing glasses, a maroon-and-gold shawl and gold bangles holds his palms together. Behind him, a shaven-headed man with white vibhuti and a red tilak on his forehead looks on, wearing a cream garment. Several people are partly visible, with four to five people in view.

Photo of a smiling man in a maroon robe with gold-embroidered shawl and an ornate red-and-gold turban, leaning forward with palms pressed together as he greets a person on the left wearing a rust-brown kurta with a white flower garland. Behind them a large printed portrait of a smiling face fills the backdrop, and a partially visible figure stands in the middle. The turbaned man's appearance (distinctive turban, gold-trimmed shawl) is consistent with the page's a person reference, but this is an uncertain appearance-based match.

His hands are pressed together in a namaste-like gesture while another person in an orange-brown robe with gold trim offers an object into his hands. A large blurred pink image of a face.

A photograph of a temple ritual in progress. A bearded man with long dark hair and white tilak on his forehead sits on a red silver-backed seat, wearing a rust-brown robe, a thick gold necklace and a gold waist belt, and holds a white cloth or thread. A blurred attendant in white with white markings on the arm and forehead leans in from the left, and another bare-backed man kneels in the foreground. Behind them stand a brass pot, brass lamp stands, orange and red cloths, and a small gold figurine. A carved stone pedestal with ornate scrollwork sits in the centre.

The seated man wears a dark red-maroon sleeveless robe with a gold-yellow edge, a long rudraksha-style mala with a large gold pendant, and has a bare upper body and bindi-like forehead marking. The attendant, standing at right, wears a green headcloth and a yellow dhoti-like wrap and holds a metal tray of pink flowers, leaves and small brass vessels. A maroon draped cloth lies on the throne arm and a dark red curtain forms the backdrop. a person: the seated man wears a long rudraksha-style mala with a gold pendant and sits on a throne, which matches the page's claim of his presence, though the face-independent cues are moderate. The image carries a copyright overlay.
