A photograph inside a marble-walled room with a gold lion-armed throne. On the right, a man in saffron-orange robes, a beaded headband, a rudraksha-style necklace and gold chain holds up a sheet of paper and reads from it. Behind him, an elderly man in orange robes and beads sits on a gold-and-red throne. On the left, several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand and sit, one holding a white bowl and another extending a silver tray of fruit including apples, mangoes and bananas. A small red-and-gold box sits on an orange-draped table, and a flatscreen television is mounted on the wall.

A photograph inside a decorated hall with a large gold-ornate throne at right. A seated figure in an orange-red turban and saffron-orange shawl, with a white floral garland and gold bangles, extends an orange toward a man in white kurta and white dhoti with a yellow tilak on his forehead, who leans in holding a small silver plate. Behind them, saffron-robed monks with rudraksha malas and shaved heads stand near a heap of oranges and pink flowers. Standing spectators in white clothes, one wearing a red garland, watch from the background, and a camera operator is visible at right. A rose lies in the lower right corner.

Indoor photo in a pillared hall with pale yellow columns and a blue wooden door. A seated man in a saffron-orange robe with a golden border and dark rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne, smiling and reaching to accept a red apple from a man in a white shirt and grey trousers who leans in. Behind him, a bald priest in saffron and a white-clad man stand. A fruit basket and a small wooden table sit beside the throne, with a striped rug on the floor. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive saffron and rudraksha cues, but the appearance is not conclusive enough for a firm identification.

A photograph in a room with a gold ornate throne backed by a golden cobra-hood canopy and a leopard-print seat cover. A saffron-robed figure sits on the throne with long dark hair, holding a red fruit, with a devotee in a white shirt and dark trousers offering him a red fruit. Around them stand men in orange saffron shawls: one in a white shirt and white dhoti, another in a cream kurta with a striped maroon cloth, and an older man in a grey kurta holding a framed photo of a figure in red turban and garland. A gold-coloured vessel sits on a table in the foreground. An air conditioner is mounted on the wall.

A photograph of an indoor scene in a bright room with a gold-and-orange chair. On the left, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti sits on an orange cushioned chair, holding a red apple in one hand and extending the other toward a bare-chested man in an orange-brown cloth with long hair and multiple gold beaded necklaces, who sits on a gold-trimmed chair with his palms open and cupped toward him. Behind them, a man in orange robes with rudraksha beads stands near a dark red box with apples on top. Another orange-robed man stands at left holding a phone. The setting suggests an exchange of fruit offering, a common gesture of blessing.

A photograph inside a marble-walled hall showing a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-adorned gold necklace, wearing a red-and-gold headband, seated on a red cushioned throne with gold carved armrest. Two men in white shirts and white dhotis stand before him; the foremost holds a long gold staff and the other holds a red-and-orange bundle with an orange ribbon, while a box rests on a low white stand. Another man in white stands at right with a rudraksha mala, and a person in orange robes is partly visible behind. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure include saffron clothing, a ceremonial gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, so this is a person in person seated in a throne-like seat receiving ceremonial items from attendants.
