A seated man in an orange saffron robe holds a green parrot in both hands at his chest, gazing down at it. He wears a long white and multicolored flower garland with red and purple blossoms, and his shoulder-length dark hair is swept back with a red bindi on his forehead. He sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat in front of a framed portrait of a saffron-robed figure seated under a tree, with a white-draped chair and brass oil lamps nearby. Another orange-robed man with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge. The setting is a plain white-walled hall with a corrugated metal roof and a zebra-striped footstool.2011-05-16July 07 20092009-07-07A photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes on a white-covered armchair in a plain room with pale pink walls and a tiled floor. He wears a long garland of white and red flowers with green-yellow citrus-like fruit beads draped over his chest and wears a rudraksha-style bead necklace, with long swept-back hair and a tilak mark on his forehead; his bare arm rests on the chair arm. Beside him on the floor, a second man in orange robes with long hair sits close to the ground, looking toward the seated man. On a glass side table in front, there is a silver kalasha-style vessel and a small silver bowl, and a framed photo rests on the table top.

A microphone stand and a water bottle are visible. A person in a white garment stands at the right edge.2010-11-12A seated man in orange robes and a long orange shawl with gold border sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne in a hall with white walls and a corrugated metal ceiling.

On the shrine, a framed portrait of a woman in white with a red heart backdrop is garlanded, and below it a seated deity murti in red robes with a red crown and yellow-and-red garland sits on a pink-draped seat.
