The standing person wears a long rudraksha mala and stands on a round silver plate, with white powder or rice marked on the floor nearby. To the right, several people in saffron and orange robes with gold-bordered cloth hold brass or gold ritual vessels, and a golden kalasha-style pot is visible. A woman in teal and a person in a white shirt stand at the left edge.

The devotee wears a white dhoti with broad gold borders and a gold-bordered shawl tied at the waist, with a rudraksha-style dark bead thread visible at the wrist. The seated figure's orange cloth and the ornate silver base suggest a ritual honouring; the devotee's hands are pressed together as he bows low. Other people in white and gold attire stand in the background, partially visible. The scene matches a temple inauguration event at Sadashiva Mandapam.2018-04-14A woman in white traditional attire with a bright orange shawl bends forward over a large brass or silver bowl filled with white rice, scooping rice with a small silver plate. Behind her, standing figures in white dhotis with red-bordered cloth and white kurtas hold metal plates, and other devotees in orange and white stand nearby. The setting is an outdoor ritual area with an orange cloth covering the ground.

A man in white ordinary clothes crouches low on the left, bending forward and placing white flower petals or rice on the bare feet of a standing figure in saffron-orange robes. A small metal plate sits near the feet, and a white powder circle is drawn on the floor to the right. Several other people in orange robes and white dhotis stand around the edges of the frame, and a garland of orange flowers hangs on a pillar at upper left. The feet being honoured are bare and the people are shown from the waist or knees down, so no face is visible.2011-05-23February 23 20172017-02-23
