A photograph of a ceremony in a tiled hall with a fire pit at lower right. A bald priest in orange robes with a gold chain stands at right holding a small open box. In the centre, an older man with glasses wears white clothes and an orange shawl with a marigold garland. A woman in a red and gold bandhani sari with an orange shawl stands before him, hands together. Several seated men in white with orange shawls and flower garlands sit at left, and a figure in pink sits near a low table. No deity, banner or readable name is visible, so no a person candidate is identified from appearance.

A seated person in orange robes with long dark hair and a red bead mala with gold beads leans forward and places a hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt and orange shawl, while the man raises his palm in a blessing gesture. Behind them, people in orange and white attire stand in a room with cream walls, and a bright orange cloth lies on the cushioned seat. The seated figure wears gold bangles and a wristwatch, and the scene resembles a blessing or darshan moment during a gathering.

A photograph of an indoor house visit in a bright room with wooden-framed windows and a patterned floor rug. In the foreground, a woman with grey hair in a pink sari with a gold border kneels and reaches to take a red fruit from a seated figure dressed in saffron-orange robes with a yellow shawl and a white flower garland. Behind them, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands with his hands pressed together. Other people in orange and white attire, including a woman in orange with grey hair and several men in white dhotis and saffron shawls, stand or sit around the room, some holding red fruit. The seated figure in orange is a devotee's host, presented here as a priest-like attendant; no further identity is asserted.

A photograph taken in a living room with a leather sofa, a flat-screen television and a marble floor. In the foreground a seated figure in an orange sleeveless top with white and red garlands and a white cloth draped over the lap is extended a hand toward a standing man in white shirt and white dhoti, who bends forward and offers red flower petals or a small red item. Scattered red petals lie on the floor. Behind them stand several women in saris of red, teal and green, and a girl in a patterned outfit at left. At far right a man in white kurta wears an orange-red shawl and a rudraksha mala. A tray with red petals sits at the right edge. Whether the seated figure in orange is a person cannot be established from appearance alone.

A seated man in orange saffron robes, wearing a white flower garland with red roses and a rudraksha mala, extends his arm to touch the hand of a devotee bowing before him in a hall. Several seated attendees in red shawls and white clothes watch, one woman in red-bordered sari with glasses and beads, and a man in a checked shirt walks past carrying a red book. Chairs and a wooden armrest are visible. Overall a satsang-style gathering with a devotee receiving blessing.

Indoor photo in a plain white-walled room with a speckled floor. A long-haired figure in orange robes sits on an orange-draped seat at left, with fruit on a tray beside them, extending a hand toward a smiling man in a pink checked shirt and cream trousers who bows barefoot. Around them stand devotees: a woman in a red blouse and patterned sari, an older man in white, a woman in a maroon sari, and an orange-robed person at right. A small child in a red floral shirt stands at far right. The moment looks like a blessing exchange or greeting.

A woman in an orange-saffron garment with long dark hair sits on a white cushioned seat and touches the forehead of a kneeling man in a patterned brown-and-cream short-sleeved shirt, his palms pressed together. Behind them a woman in white with an orange shawl stands beside a woven wicker basket, and a crowd of guests in white and casual clothes fills the warmly lit room. A palm frond decoration is visible at the upper right.

A photograph of a stage event against dark red velvet drapes. On the right, a man with long dark hair wears an orange shawl over white ritual clothing and bends forward to receive an offering. Facing him from the left, a person in a brown garment with gold border and an orange shawl reaches out with a hand, and a shaved-headed man in orange with a white forehead mark stands behind them holding a tray with a pale flower-decorated offering. At far right, a smiling man in an orange shawl applauds. The scene shows a felicitation moment with the bowing man in white receiving the tray.
