A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban on a red zebra-striped throne with gold-carved backrest. He wears a long multicolour garland of orange marigolds, red flowers, green leaves and white blossoms, a rudraksha mala and gold chains, and bangles on his wrist. A young woman in white clothes with a vertical sandal-paste mark and rudraksha beads sits at his feet holding a small gold-edged card or offering. Behind them, a crowd in white and saffron clothing, some with white forehead marks, stands and sits at a dim evening gathering with a gold kalasha and a banana-leaf decoration above.

A seated figure in a red-orange turban, red-orange robe, and layered garlands of white, red and pink flowers sits on a gold-carved throne beside potted green plants and rocks. He holds out his hand toward a kneeling woman with blonde hair in a white top, who holds an orange fruit. Oranges fill a wooden tray at the lower left. Behind them stand a woman in white with a rudraksha mala and a woman in a light yellow kurta, beside a red draped altar with gold and garlanded deity murti. The setting suggests a satsang or darshan gathering.

A seated figure in an orange-red turban, bare-shouldered orange-red garment, multiple beaded rudraksha-style necklaces and a gold ornament, leans forward on a gold-carved throne with a red cushioned seat, extending an arm to offer something red to a kneeling man in white clothes with folded hands, wristwatch and glasses. Behind them, a woman in white with a long orange-brown beaded mala stands with arms outstretched. Gold oil lamps and a gold bird finial sit nearby, and a pedestal fan is in the background.

A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-red turban with gold ornaments and a rust-red robe with heavy gold necklaces and armbands, placing a hand on the head of a man in a light blue striped shirt who kneels with palms pressed together. A woman in white with a rust-red shawl and beaded necklace stands behind them. A gold-carved throne and dark red curtain form the backdrop, with a standing fan at right. The seated figure has distinctive turban, gold ornaments and robes, which is a probable match for a person, a blessing action.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate silver-framed throne draped with a leopard-print cloth, wearing an orange-saffron robe, a purple orchid garland and gold necklaces. A kneeling man in white ritual dress with an orange sash and rudraksha mala raises his hand toward the seated figure's forehead, seemingly applying a blessing or tilak. Behind them, a woman in a white and red sari sits and several people in white stand in the background. Purple orchids, a red velvet cushion and a gold-coloured ritual vessel are nearby. The page indicates a pada-puja event, though the seated figure's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.

Photograph of an indoor ceremony in a gold-decorated hall. A bearded man in an orange-rust turban and orange-rust robe, wearing long layered gold beaded necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, sits on a red cushioned seat and smiles with eyes closed while extending his hand. A shaved-headed man in a white dhoti with a yellow border kneels before him, receiving or offering something from his hands. A woman in a green and gold sari stands behind, and a woman in a purple sari with a rudraksha mala looks on at right. A golden deity murti or ritual object sits on an orange cloth beside the seated man, and a white pedestal fan and carved golden pillar are visible.
