A photograph of a padapuja-style honouring in an indoor hall. A seated man in an orange robe and a long white-and-red flower garland, with a gold chain and beads, smiles and gestures with his right hand from a white upholstered throne-like seat with a grey cushion. Kneeling at his feet on the floor, an older man in a white shirt and mundu with a rudraksha mala washes or touches the feet over a brass plate. Behind, a standing man in white kurta with an orange shawl and a red-and-white beaded mala stands with hands clasped. A standing fan and a maroon curtain are behind them.

A seated figure in an orange robe and white flower garland with a green and yellow flower garland sits on a gold and red throne before gold-draped curtains. He holds a small object in his hands while a kneeling man in white clothes with folded hands and a red thread on his wrist faces him. A standing man in orange robes and a shawl stands to the right, and a silver tray with a small lamp and flowers rests on the gold pedestal. Books and a box with fruit sit on a side table at left, and yellow flowers stand in a vase at right. A portrait in a gold frame is partly visible at the left edge.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on a white-draped bench before yellow and green checked curtains. A man in white shirt and white dhoti stands bent forward, placing his hands on the seated person's shoulders while a large rudraksha-style garland with white flowers hangs around the seated figure's neck. A silver tray with oil lamps sits at the feet, and a wooden box of fruit is on a side table at left. A young man in white with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala stands at right, and a partially visible person in green is at left.

A seated figure in an orange saffron robe and orange turban, with long swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala, sits on a cream upholstered throne-like chair with a maroon cushion and gold-toned decorative elements, smiling as he receives an offering. A man in a white short-sleeved shirt kneels before him, bending forward with hands cupped to receive a fruit or small object from the seated figure. On a side table behind them sits a plate with sweets and purple flowers. A woman in a white sari with a gold border and a red pendant stands in the background beside a potted palm and blue curtains. Strings of beads hang in the background. Appearance cues are consistent with a person depicted in person, receiving devotion as a seated honoured teacher.

A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robe with a long white flower garland, long swept-back dark hair and a tilak, reaching toward a red-orange tray of fruit and offerings held by a standing attendant in white dhoti with a yellow sash. A kneeling woman in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala smiles nearby, a white towel draped over a seated pair of feet, and a standing man in white at left. A bowl of mangoes sits in the foreground beside a white cushioned seat. The man in saffron with the garland and long hair is a person by appearance cues, shown in an in-person seated ritual setting.

A photograph of an indoor room with cream walls and an orange upholstered armchair. A figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and a multicoloured flower garland of white jasmine, yellow and red blossoms, sits smiling on the chair. Two men in white shirts and white dhotis bend forward with palms pressed together, one with his hands raised near the seated figure's shoulder. A white-draped table with brass ritual items sits at the lower right.

A photograph in a hall with dark red velvet drapes. A seated figure in an orange robe with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala draped over the shoulder, rests one palm on the head of a bald older man in an orange robe and peach shawl who bows forward and receives offerings from a white-clothed table. The seated figure's appearance and adornments are consistent with a person, seated on an orange-upholstered throne and blessing the devotee. Behind them a young man in white with an orange shawl stands with a hand on the devotee's back, and a figure in white with an orange shawl stands at the left edge. Trays with yellow flowers and small items sit on the white table.

A photograph of a seated man in orange robes on a cream sofa with a blue floral cover, smiling as he rests his hand on the head of a kneeling man in a cream kurta with a rudraksha mala. A standing man in white kurta and black trousers and another person in red-orange clothing watch from behind. A white shag rug and an orange cloth lie on the floor, and a small plate of fruit sits on the sofa. The scene appears to be a blessing given in a room. Appearance-based candidate: the seated orange-robed man shows long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, so he is a person in the person being blessed role, but the identity is uncertain.
