A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a floral garland of yellow, red and purple flowers behind it. The seated figure wears an orange saffron cloth draped over one shoulder and a dark rudraksha mala, and holds a small object in one hand. In front, a brass platter with lamps, flower petals and offerings is set on the floor, where devotees sit. A man in white with a rudraksha mala presses his palms together, and an older bald man in white sits beside him. A woman in a white sari with folded hands sits at the right, with other people partly visible. Brass oil lamps hang and stand against a dark stone wall with a wall-mounted air conditioner. This appears to be a pratyaksha pada puja, with the seated figure as the central figure being worshipped.

Before the throne, devotees kneel on the floor in white, yellow and pink clothes with hands folded in anjali, while brass and silver plates hold lit oil lamps, red flowers, fruit and offerings, typical of a puja or padapuja. Gold lamps hang behind, and a wooden door and wall air conditioner are visible.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne in a dark-walled shrine, wearing a white head cloth, a green dhoti-style garment with a gold-bordered yellow cloth, and a thick garland of red, yellow and white flowers. He holds a silver rod and smiles. Below, an orange-clad man with folded hands sits beside a boy in orange-yellow kurta, and two women in green and dark clothing sit with palms pressed together. A silver tray holds flowers and offerings on a gold table, and brass oil lamps hang from the wall. The seated figure shows swept-back hair, a head cloth and ornate gold-and-garland adornment consistent with a person presentation as the honoured figure on the throne.

A photograph inside a temple-style hall with a black slate wall and an air conditioner. A man with long swept-back hair, a crown-like ornate headdress is not visible, wearing saffron-orange clothing, a rudraksha-style beaded garland and gold bangles, sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved lion-form base on the left. Four people sit on the floor before him in white and saffron attire: one in a white shirt with a saffron-and-red shawl and orange beaded mala, a woman in a white sari with a white forehead mark, a man in white with a forehead mark and mala, and a shaved-headed man in white with a forehead mark. Silver thalis holding flowers and offerings sit on the floor in front, and a brass oil lamp hangs from the ceiling at the upper left.

A seated man in a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap and orange shawl sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion heads, wearing a long orange-beaded necklace. He gazes ahead while seven devotees kneel or sit before him on the floor. Among them, a woman in a teal top kneels with hands joined, a man in a green-bordered sari-style garment is seated, and several women wear white garments with hands folded in prayer. Silver and brass plates hold flowers, fruit, and oil lamps in front of the throne. Brass oil lamps and hanging bells stand near the gold throne, and a carved dark wooden door is on the right. A white wall air conditioner sits above the scene. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, an orange shawl and a beaded necklace, consistent with the page's claim.
