A smiling man with long dark hair stands beside an open white van door in a parking lot, palms pressed together in namaste. He wears a cream embroidered kurta with a white shawl draped over his shoulder. In the foreground, a silver kalasha with a green leaf and white flowers sits on a tray.

Outdoor photo in a parking lot lined with parked cars and leafless trees. A man in white dhoti and shirt with a red-and-gold shawl carries a brass plate with a kalasha, bananas and green leaves. Centre, a long-haired figure in cream and gold ceremonial robes with a gold-bordered white shawl performs anjali mudra, hands pressed together in greeting. Beside them a woman in a white sari with gold border walks, and a man in white follows behind. A white van and several cars surround them.

Outdoor photo beside a silver minivan with its side door open under a clear sky. A long-haired man in a white dhoti and shawl, wearing a red and white flower garland and rudraksha-style beads, smiles and gestures with raised hands toward a shaven-headed monk in saffron robes who holds a copper kalasha topped with a red flower and yellow marigold garland. A bearded man in orange stands at left, another orange-robed figure stands behind, and a cameraman in white holds a camera at right. Palm leaves and dry land appear in the background.

Indoor photo in a glass-doored lobby with a patterned carpet; cars visible through the doors outside. In front, a man with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi on his forehead, and a gold-patterned brocade kurta with a red and green bordered white shawl draped over his arm smiles and gestures. Behind him, an older man in white kurta and pajama with a black sleeveless vest and a red tilak on his forehead stands with his hands clasped.

Outdoor photograph beside a white car with its door open, surrounded by green trees and a rocky hillside. A bald, bespectacled man in orange robes with a white flower garland bows with hands folded beside the car. A young man in an orange robe holds a silver kalasha-style pot with green leaves, and a figure in orange holds a silver tray. On the right, a long-haired man in an orange shawl over a red garment smiles and adjusts his wrap; he has long swept-back hair and a distinctive ceremonial appearance, consistent with a person in a welcoming role. Several other men in orange and white stand behind, one in a yellow shawl.

Outdoor scene at dusk beside a silver-grey SUV with its side door open. A man in red-orange robes with a gold-toned bead necklace stands at the door, holding a staff upright. A bare-chested man in a white dhoti with gold borders carries a glass jar and a brass tray of flowers. Another bare-chested man in white stands behind them. On the right, men in orange robes stand near brick buildings and a rooftop structure. A man in a white shirt reaches for the car handle at left.

A bearded man with long, curly black hair and a red vibhuti or kumkum mark on his forehead stands outdoors in saffron-orange robes, holding a silver tray with a clear glass pot wrapped in white jasmine garland. A coconut and green leaves rest on top of the pot. Behind him are a silver SUV, palm trees, a concrete-block wall, and an orange flag at the top edge. The setting is a dusty ground. The man is a devotee or priest; his appearance shows long hair and saffron clothing but not distinctive enough cues to confirm the a person candidate.
