A photograph at a covered building entrance with a red brick pillar and palm tree behind. A man with long dark hair and a white tilak on his forehead, wearing a paisley gold-and-orange silk kurta with a white shawl edged in green and gold, stands with palms pressed together in namaste beside an open silver minivan door. A driver sits at the wheel inside the van. To the right, a smiling man in white clothes with spectacles and a rudraksha mala steadies the door. The long-haired man is a person by appearance cues including long swept hair, a shawl and ornate clothing, though his face is not used for identification.

A photograph at dusk in a parking area beside a dark car with its rear door open. A long-haired man in an all-white silk sherwani with gold-trimmed embroidery and a cream shawl stands with palms pressed together in greeting, smiling, with a small red tilak on his forehead. Beside him, a bearded man with glasses in a white kurta with a rudraksha-style mala and a small device clipped to his shirt leans in attentively. Street lamps and blossoming trees line the lot behind them.

A woman in a teal kurta stands at the left edge, and another man in a dark jacket stands behind them near a dark SUV and a teal pickup truck.

Outdoor photo on a paved driveway in front of a suburban house with a flowering tree behind. A figure in a white kurta and white trousers stands at left, holding a brass pot-like kalasha with a red flower, facing a person in long flowing orange-saffron robes with long dark swept-back hair who stands beside an open dark green car door and smiles with palms raised in greeting. Behind them four people in casual clothes stand with hands pressed together in namaste. The robed figure has distinctive long hair and saffron robes, a person cue, but identity is uncertain from appearance; this is a person with the role of a robed greeted guest.
