A small room with yellow-green walls and a ceiling fan shows a man in a red-orange cloth wrapped around his body, wearing a long white and red flower garland, smiling with eyes lowered. Beside him, another man in orange-red robes with a bare upper body and dark hair stands with his back partly turned. At left, a bald man with white and red forehead markings and an orange shawl smiles broadly. Behind them, an altar draped with green foliage holds a framed portrait of a figure in orange robes, a plate with offerings and a brass lamp on a white-covered table. A white cloth hangs on the right wall. A man in a red-orange robe with a bare upper body is partly visible at left, and a fourth partial person appears in the background.

Indoor ritual scene in a cluttered room with orange-draped floor and a red painted deity figure and gold statues behind. A man seated in a large orange leather chair wears a red-maroon robe with gold borders, a white forehead band, and a long beaded gold garland, smiling with one hand raised in blessing. Two young men in matching maroon-and-gold dhotis and shawls stand left, one holding a metal tray with offerings, the other with a rudraksha mala. A devotee in white kneels before the seated man at lower centre. Another attendant in maroon stands at right holding a pink cloth.

Photograph of a smiling man in a rust-red sleeveless garment with gold-striped waist cloth and a long layered rudraksha-style necklace with gold beads, a red bindi on his forehead, and gold earring, glancing back over his shoulder beside a red tray with fruit and packets. Two other men in rust-red robes stand behind him, one holding a red tray and wearing a dark bead mala, while a man in white clothes and a shirt stands in the background. A tall tasselled decorative hanging in red, yellow and blue appears above, with a framed picture in the upper left. The description does not confirm the identity of the central figure.

A photograph of four men in an indoor room with cream walls and a wooden door frame. On the left, a shaved-headed elder with white sacred markings on his forehead wears a rudraksha mala, a gold pendant, and pink flower garlands, seated on a gold-bordered cushion. Beside him, a younger man with a headband and pink garland gestures with raised palms and wears a rust-coloured cloth and beaded bracelets. Behind them, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a long rudraksha mala stands in a doorway, and at the right edge a man in a white shirt and glasses looks down.

A photograph inside a small domestic shrine room with a wooden cabinet holding framed deity prints garlanded with flowers. A smiling man in the centre wears a red-orange shawl, a thick red and white flower garland, a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, with white forehead markings and a red bindi. To the left, a shaved-headed priest in orange-saffron cloth with rudraksha beads tends a flame and oil lamp. On the right, another shaved-headed attendant in orange wears a rudraksha mala, and a blurred figure is at the lower right. Four physical people are visible.

A seated central figure wearing a maroon garment with a gold border, multiple rudraksha malas, bangles and white jasmine garlands sits on a bed covered with orange cloth and scattered pink and white flower petals, holding fruit and yellow flower offerings. Beside them a wooden tray holds fruit, sweets and small containers. Standing to the left are two men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas, one with a white forehead mark, and an older man in white dhoti. A young man in white and a shaved-headed priest with white tripundra marks kneel at right, and a woman in white with jasmine in her hair sits at lower left. The setting is a plain room with a wooden-slatted window and wooden furniture. The central figure's appearance is ambiguous, so the identity is unsure; the scene reads as a padapuja-style devotee offering.

A seated man in a red-orange robe with a long rudraksha mala around his neck smiles while sitting cross-legged on a stage. He has a white tilak and red bindi on his forehead and holds his hands together in his lap. Behind him, two people in orange and saffron clothing stand, one at left holding a book and one at upper centre. Clear water bottles sit on a table in the foreground beside the stage.
