A life-size figure of a robed sannyasi-style statue or mannequin with a shiny metallic gold-toned face, wearing an orange-saffron turban and orange robe. Long black hair falls over the shoulders, and rudraksha-style beads hang across the chest. Behind it is a backdrop of bright crocheted or knitted yarn pieces in green, white, red and magenta. The figure is a depiction, not a living person, and no physical people are visible.

A golden statue of a seated figure in an orange turban and orange robes, with long black hair falling over the shoulders and a rudraksha mala draped across the chest. The bronze-like face has a red bindi and a smile, and the hands are gold, one raised palm-out and the other resting open on the lap. Behind the figure are large crocheted wool garlands in green, white, magenta and red, under a clear blue sky. The figure is a statue, not a living person, and no physical people are visible.

A seated figure is presented on an ornate gilded throne-like seat draped with white, red and green flower garlands. The figure wears an orange saffron robe and orange head wrap, a rudraksha mala hangs across the chest, and the face is covered by a gold-coloured mask or statue face, with dark long hair visible at the sides. The hands are gold-coloured and the legs are crossed in a meditative pose. The setting is a dim indoor hall with warm hanging lights and a partially visible person at the edge. Because the figure appears to be a gold-finished statue or murti rather than a living person, no physical person is counted in the scene.

A seated statue of a figure with a golden face and gold hands, dressed in orange robes and a matching orange head wrap, with long black hair falling over the shoulders and a long rudraksha mala of brown beads around the neck. The figure sits within a frame of crocheted-style floral garlands in white, red, maroon and green. The golden face shows a red tilak mark on the forehead. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.

A seated man rides in an ornate procession palanquin decorated with white jasmine garlands and gold finials. He wears an orange and yellow turban with a red tilak mark on his forehead, long dark hair, an orange shawl over orange clothing, and a rudraksha mala of brown beads. He smiles and raises one hand in greeting. Behind him, tall tassels in green, purple, orange and blue hang from the canopy, and a gold lion-shaped ornament is visible at left. Foliage and a few out-of-focus heads appear in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): long swept hair, a turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads are visible, identifying a probable Swamiji seated in the palanquin.
