Indoor ritual scene in a hall. A seated man in a maroon silk robe and rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, holding a leaf plate of food with a small spoon. Ash marks and a red bindi are on his forehead. A kneeling man in white dhoti and shirt with a gold-bordered cloth, hands cupped, receives food from him. A gold-carved low table, red patterned rug, a standing fan and a plate of offerings sit in front.

A seated man with long dark hair and bare upper body, wearing an orange-and-black tiger-striped shawl over a rust-red dhoti and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace, sits on an ornate gold throne beneath a red-orange canopy. He extends a folded green leaf offering to a devotee in a white kurta with folded hands, bowing low. A second person in orange clothing sits behind, a plain fan stands on the floor, and banana leaves and rice lie at the foot of the throne. The shawl and throne setting are consistent with a person figure, presented as the seated teacher receiving padapuja-style reverence.

A seated man in an ornate gold throne, wearing a reddish-orange dhoti and shawl with a long rudraksha mala, mixes food in a large silver bowl placed on a banana leaf on a patterned rug. A standing man in an all-white dhoti and shirt with gold border holds a piece of food near his mouth. Behind them stands a decorated stage with a multi-armed deity murti in an arch and a framed portrait of a man in saffron turban above a gold-draped seat. A white pedestal fan, a laptop and a covered chair are also visible.

A seated man in a cream-white dhoti and wrap sits on an ornate golden and red throne with a tiger-striped cushion, wearing a long rudraksha mala and rudraksha bracelets on his upper arm and wrist, with long dark hair and white forehead markings. He gestures with his right hand while speaking and smiles. In front of him, a man in a white shirt and white trousers kneels with his palms pressed together in a gesture of respect. A red tray with a folded orange cloth, fruit and small items sits at the lower left. Behind them, people stand near a window. Appearance-based probable candidate: a person, seated on the throne, is the central figure; the kneeling devotee is a devotee in white clothes.

A devotee in a white dhoti and white shirt, wearing a saffron-orange shawl and a white vibhuti tilak, leans forward with cupped hands to receive yellow prasadam from a seated man on a gold, ornately carved throne with a red cushion. The seated man wears a rust-red robe, a long rudraksha mala, and a short gold necklace, with his hair swept back and a white tilak on his forehead. A silver bowl of yellow food sits on a green banana leaf on the table in front, with a flower arrangement and a brass vessel behind them and a white electric fan at left.

A seated man with long dark hair, a white forehead band and a red bindi wears a rust-red robe, a white flower garland and a rudraksha mala, with a leopard-print shawl over his lap. He sits on a red tiger-striped cushioned chair in front of an ornate gold throne back and dark maroon drapes, placing his hand on the head of a kneeling bearded devotee in a white shirt who holds a small yellow object with both hands. A woman in white with an orange-red shawl and beaded necklace stands at the right edge. The seated figure matches the a person cues of ornate gold throne, rudraksha mala, and red-and-gold clothing, giving a blessing to a devotee.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long orange rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet cushion. He has long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead, and his hands rest on the armrest. In front of the throne, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti kneels low on a red cloth, bending forward toward the seated figure's feet, which rest on a tiger-print cloth. A gold-trimmed red velvet curtain forms the backdrop, and a wristwatch is visible on the arm of a third person at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, which supports a probable identification as a person, though the appearance is not fully certain.

A photograph of a seated man in a large gold ornate throne with red cushions, wearing saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala, with vibhuti marks on his forehead, his hands resting on his lap. Before him is a silver tray with a small silver object, green leaves and offerings on a silver table draped with a patterned red carpet. A kneeling young attendant in white dhoti with gold borders, bare-chested, wearing a rudraksha mala and forehead tilak, reaches toward the offerings. Red and pink roses fill a brass vase at right, and a red fringed hanging appears at top. The setting suggests a ritual padapuja or worship ceremony.
