A seated figure in an orange-red turban and orange-red robe receives a garland and offering at a decorated altar, smiling broadly. The figure wears layered garlands of white, red, yellow and green flowers and a rudraksha mala with gold beads. A man in a white kurta and glasses, seen from behind, extends a hand holding offerings toward the seated figure. A gold vessel and small lamp stand on the altar, with a second devotee in a yellow cloth and a priest with white forehead markings at left. Yellow marigold garlands fill the background.

A seated figure on a golden throne receives honour from a devotee. The seated person wears a rust-red turban and a deep red-maroon robe with a saffron shawl, and sits beneath a large arrangement of yellow, red and white flower garlands in a green-and-red striped pattern. A man in a grey-and-white striped kurta with glasses leans in from the left, placing a hand on the garland while smiling. Behind them a bald man in white robes adjusts garlands. A gold lion sculpture sits at the right edge and an ornate gilded pillar stands at the left, with a seated woman in white at the far left edge.

A photograph of a seated figure in a red-maroon turban and saffron-orange robes being garlanded during a ritual. A man in a white cotton kurta and glasses holds long strands of white and orange flower garlands raised above the seated figure's head. The seated figure is almost entirely covered by large layered garlands of yellow marigolds, red flowers and green leaves, and wears rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. To the left, a bald man with white tilak marks on his forehead, smiling, wears an orange cloth and a dark bead mala. Brass kalasha vessels and a brass lamp stand on a table nearby. The scene appears to be a garlanding ceremony in a ritual setting.

A photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, bare-chested and wearing a rust-orange wrap, adorned with heavy gold necklaces, a red and green flower garland and gold armlets, receiving a ceremonial turban-style headpiece in pink and gold being placed on his head by a standing man in white ritual clothing. Behind them is a dense arrangement of yellow, purple and red flowers and a painted tree-canopy backdrop, with a brass oil lamp at left and an orange cushion at right. The scene suggests a felicitation or ceremonial honouring, with the seated man's appearance matching the a person cues of long swept-back hair, gold ornaments and saffron-orange clothing, while the standing man in white is a priest or devotee.

A photograph of a seated figure on a gold-ornate throne under a grey canopy. The seated man wears an orange saffron robe with a red and white flower garland and a rudraksha-style bead mala, and holds a folded paper. Beside him stands a man in a white shirt raising a long white and red flower garland toward the seated figure, while another man's arm reaches in from the right. The throne is decorated with gold carvings, flowers and a cushion with a dark emblem. Identity is uncertain from appearance alone, so the seated figure is described by role as a seated presenter in saffron with garlands.

A seated figure in a deep red turban and matching red-brown robes receives a garland of white, red, orange and purple flower strands placed over the head by an older man in a white checked short-sleeved shirt and wristwatch. The seated figure wears a gold bangle and sits on a red velvet-covered seat before a gilded carved backdrop with lion figures and a painted deity panel. A woman in a white sari stands behind, with another figure in orange and cream at the right edge. The scene appears to be a garlanding ceremony in a temple-style hall. Candidate for a person: the seated figure wears a red turban, rich robes, garlands and a gold bangle, but the face is not clearly visible, so the identity is uncertain.
