Photo of a ceremony on a red floor mat. A bare-backed devotee in white dhoti kneels and bows forehead-to-floor before an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions. Seated on the throne is a figure in saffron-brown robes wearing a large marigold and rose garland and a gold pendant necklace. A man in white dhoti with yellow border and rudraksha mala kneels beside the devotee, touching his back, and a person in orange holds an orange fruit at the right, as orange fruits are passed among attendants. The scene suggests a padapuja reverence, with the throne centred in the frame.

A photograph of a devotee in a bare-chested pose, prostrating on a red carpet before a seated figure in a rust-orange robe and a silver-footed seat or stand. The devotee wears a white dhoti with broad gold borders and a gold-bordered shawl tied at the waist, with a rudraksha-style dark bead thread visible at the wrist. The seated figure's orange cloth and the ornate silver base suggest a ritual honouring; the devotee's hands are pressed together as he bows low. Other people in white and gold attire stand in the background, partially visible. The scene matches a temple inauguration event at Sadashiva Mandapam.

A devotee in white dhoti and white shirt, with a rudraksha mala around the neck, bows forward with palms pressed together in namaskara toward a seated figure. The seated figure wears a rust-brown shawl with gold border and rests a hand on an ornate silver-engraved stool or peetha. A person in an orange robe stands at left, and another in white with gold-bordered dhoti stands behind. The setting is an indoor ritual space with a red floor mat. The seated figure's face is not visible, so no identification is made.

A photograph of a devotee in white dhoti with gold border prostrating in front of an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushion. The devotee's bare back is visible as they bend forward, and a hand with rudraksha beads rests on their back. Beside the throne, a seated person in saffron-orange robes with gold trim has bare feet resting on a silver footstool. A dark-skinned hand with rudraksha mala and bracelets reaches toward the scene. A metal railing is in the foreground.

A photograph of a devotee in white and gold dhoti with bare upper back, bowing forehead-first to the ornate silver-embossed footed stand on the red floor, placing one hand on a round orange fruit set on it. The figure wears a rudraksha mala. Behind, two seated attendants in white and gold dhotis with rudraksha malas watch. An orange-robed person stands at left beside a leopard-print cloth. The scene suggests pranam before a sacred seat or murti at a ritual gathering.

A man in white kurta with white embroidered pattern bows deeply with his forehead touching the feet of a seated figure wearing orange robes and a leopard-print shawl with a red-and-green flower garland at the waist. The man has folded hands and wears glasses. The seated figure is on a golden-brown upholstered seat. In the foreground are yellow, orange and pink marigold and flower petal arrangements on the floor and a polished brass vessel at the right edge. The seated figure's face is not visible, so no appearance-based a person candidate is established.

A man in white ritual clothes kneels on the floor and bows his head to rest on a red velvet cushion set on an ornate silver footstool with scrolled legs. A second person in a rust-red robe with a gold border stands beside him, his hand resting on the kneeling man's head. The setting is a dim hall with a patterned floor, and a gold-trimmed red cloth hangs in the background.

A photograph of a padapuja ritual in an outdoor courtyard with an orange cloth floor. A figure in orange robes with long dark wavy hair, a long beaded necklace of gold-coloured beads and an orange shawl sits on a raised orange-draped seat, smiling and holding flower petals. A man in white clothes bends forward to touch the seated figure's bare feet, which rest on a pink-and-gold cloth and marigold garlands. Behind them, several men in white kurtas wear marigold garlands and orange shawls, with hands folded in greeting, and a woman in a yellow sari stands nearby. A brass bowl of petals and lemons sits on a wooden stand at left, with brass lamps and a shrine behind.
