A seated figure in a deep red turban and red garment, adorned with layered gold and white flower garlands, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and gold bangles, smiles while extending a red apple to a kneeling devotee in the foreground. A woman in white with a red-and-gold shawl stands behind a young man in a white shirt who bows toward the seated figure. Another person in white with a dark shawl sits at lower right, holding fruit. Bowls of apples sit on a red cloth on a platform, with yellow flowers, palm fronds and a large gold-framed throne behind. The setting appears to be a ceremonial padapuja or darshan.

A photograph of a ceremonial reception in a decorated hall with bamboo panels and potted palms. A young man in a light green shirt with hands pressed together in namaskar bends toward a seated figure. Beside him stands a woman in a white sari with a red-and-purple border and a red shawl over her shoulders, a rudraksha mala around her neck. On the right, a seated figure wearing a red turban with a jewelled ornament, a white flower garland and gold ornamental necklaces reaches out toward a small pile of red apples on a red cloth-covered table. A gold ornate throne back and white and yellow flower arrangements complete the setting. Another person in white with dark hair is partially visible in the foreground.

A seated figure in a red turban, red shawl and gold-and-white garland, with a bare shoulder and gold armbands, sits on a dark red cushioned throne with an ornate gold backrest.

Beside him, a woman in a white sari with a red shawl presses her palms together in greeting. A young person in white stands at the left, and another head is visible at the bottom right near a tray of apples. White lilies and green palm fronds decorate the bamboo-screened backdrop.

A seated man in a rust-brown turban and matching rust-brown robe holds out a red apple toward a woman at lower left. He wears a long garland of green leaves and white flowers with red roses, gold earrings, and beaded bracelets on his wrist and upper arm. He is seated on a gold and red throne in front of maroon drapes, with a gold pole beside him. The woman at lower left, wearing a white top, orange shawl, and red bindi, smiles and looks down with her hands folded. A cameraman in a white shirt stands behind them at upper left. The seated man appears to be a distinctively dressed figure with a crown-like turban and ornate adornments, a person on a throne receiving an offering.

A seated figure in a deep red turban with a small silver crescent emblem, bare-shouldered in a red-brown dhoti-style garment with a brown beaded mala and ornate gold armbands, holds apples and offers one to a standing man with folded hands. The man wears a striped yellow-gold shirt and dark trousers and bows. Beside them stands a woman in a white and red-bordered sari with a red-and-white striped shawl, a rudraksha mala, and a white forehead mark. The seat is an ornate golden throne against a wooden wall with tall reed-like plants and a gold canopy above. A platter of apples sits in front. Three people are visible, and the figure on the throne presents as a person (a person) based on the turban, bare-chested adornments and mala. Identity cues are appearance-based only.

A photograph of a seated figure on a red cushioned golden throne with a lion-carved armrest, against a deep red curtain and gilded shrine panels. The central seated person wears a red-orange turban, an orange-brown robe, a green leaf garland and red beaded mala with gold necklaces and gold armbands, and smiles broadly. Beside him a man in a white dhoti with gold border and tripundra-style white markings on his body holds a steel plate of yellow sweets, with a green leaf on top. A woman in a pink and navy sari with gold border, flowers in her hair and a braid stands facing the seated figure at right, her hand reaching toward him.

Photograph of a seated figure in a red-maroon turban and maroon-red robe with layered ornamental necklaces and gold bangles, leaning forward to hold a rudraksha-style mala toward a man in a white shirt and grey trousers who stands with cupped hands. Beside him a smiling woman in white with a red-and-gold shawl watches. In the foreground a seated devotee in white with a red sash is partly visible, and a silver trident stands at the right near a gold-and-red throne. Yellow chrysanthemums, orange fruit on a tray and palm fronds fill the wooden hall. The seated figure is a person by appearance cues, but the identity is uncertain, so the candidate is marked in the description and the a person field is set to unsure.
