A seated man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a red bindi sits on an orange-cushioned throne-like chair before a temple shrine with carved stone pillars and brass lamps. His long dark hair is swept back, and he raises one hand in greeting. An elderly bald man in an orange robe and shawl bows toward him with hands together. Behind them, a young man in orange and another man with a camera stand near a backdrop of flower garlands and gold-toned decor. The scene shows an orange-draped dais with a flower garland and a small brass lamp.

A long-haired man in orange-saffron robes and a multi-coloured flower garland sits on a gold-trimmed throne with a red cushion, smiling and holding his palms together in greeting. Before him, a shaven-headed priest in saffron dhoti and shawl with white ritual markings on his chest and arms stands with palms joined, facing the seated figure. Other men in white and yellow stand to the side, one in a beige shirt also with folded hands. Behind them is a backdrop of a deity murti draped in garlands, with trays of fruit and flowers placed at the foot of the throne.

Inside a temple shrine, a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace sits on the floor at a raised platform, smiling and holding a string of yellow flowers or fruit. Beside him, a man in orange robes stands, and a man in a red silk garment bends forward in a devotional gesture. Brass puja vessels, oil lamps and a kalasha sit on the platform. Behind them is a deity murti adorned with garlands, and a tiered fruit and sweets offering stands to the left, with a small child in a white shirt watching. Flower garlands decorate the shrine.
