Outdoor photo of a street arrival at a residential compound beneath a red and maroon fringed canopy. A man in an orange saffron robe with a bare upper body stands centre, smiling and receiving a small offering tray from a woman in a white sari. Behind him a line of men in white shirts and dhotis, some with folded hands in namaste, look on. Another person in orange stands beside him holding a folded orange flag on a pole. On the left a woman in white and a man in white shirt press palms together. A dark car is parked at the lower left, with green-roofed buildings and palm trees behind. Count of visible people is about twelve.

Outdoor photograph at a house entrance: a woman with long dark hair pulled back, wearing a red sleeveless blouse, rudraksha mala necklaces and red-and-gold bangles, stands beside an open black car door and reaches toward a brass kalasha pot topped with a yellow flower and green mango leaves. A woman in a white sari with gold bangles holds the pot on a red carpet beneath a hanging banana bunch, marigold garlands and a green mango-leaf arch. Saffron-robed men with rudraksha malas stand nearby, and a photographer with a camera is visible. This is a pada puja-style welcome ritual with a kalasha offering.

A photo at a covered building entrance beside a silver minivan with its side door open. A long-haired man in saffron-orange robes and a white flower garland stands at the car door, smiling with eyes closed. An older man in white clothes bends forward to touch his shoulder in greeting, while a woman in the lower right holds a brass plate with a fruit and leaves. Several men in white shirts and trousers stand to the left, one with an orange lanyard, and a bystander is visible inside the car. The scene looks like a formal welcome on arrival. The saffron-robed man with long swept-back hair and a garland matches the candidate cues, so this is an appearance-based candidate present in person.

Outdoor photo at a dusty compound with a block wall, palm trees and a silver car door open at left. A man in saffron-orange robes with a saffron shawl, forehead marking and long dark hair stands centre, smiling and walking forward. Facing him, a woman in white clothes with a white top holds a woven basket with a brass tray, green leaves and a yellow fruit or offering. Around them several young men in white kurtas with orange shawls stand, one with a rudraksha mala and a tilak, and one at left in orange robes near the car.

A photo taken outdoors beside a dark car near bamboo plants and a white wall. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe and a red tilak on his forehead, smiles as he walks toward the car. Beside him a young man in white clothes and a yellow shawl holds a small object. On the right, a woman in a pink and gold salwar holds a tray with a red flower, and a man in a white shirt holds a long garland of orange and red flowers. Marigold strings are visible in the background.

Outdoor photo on a paved driveway in front of a suburban house with a flowering tree behind. A figure in a white kurta and white trousers stands at left, holding a brass pot-like kalasha with a red flower, facing a person in long flowing orange-saffron robes with long dark swept-back hair who stands beside an open dark green car door and smiles with palms raised in greeting. Behind them four people in casual clothes stand with hands pressed together in namaste. The robed figure has distinctive long hair and saffron robes, a person cue, but identity is uncertain from appearance; this is a person with the role of a robed greeted guest.

Outdoor scene beside a white car with its door open. A bald, bespectacled man in orange robes leans into the driver's side, while a man with long hair and an orange wrap holds a silver tray with flowers and a green leaf, as if offering it. A bearded man in orange stands behind them with hands pressed together. On the right, a long-haired man in an orange wrap over a red top rests a hand on the open door, and figures in white and yellow are partly visible at the edge. Green trees and shrubs fill the background.

Outdoor photograph at a dusty site beside a grey car decorated with long garlands of yellow, orange and white flowers. A man with long, swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange robe and stands at the car's side with his hands extended toward an older woman in white sari with an orange shawl, who holds a silver tray of flowers and a silver pot. A woman in an orange sari and a rudraksha mala stands at right holding a silver plate of marigolds and lit oil lamps. Behind them, a man in white, a seated older man with folded hands, and children watch beneath banana plants, a chain-link fence and a string of orange and red pennants. The scene is an arrival-style welcome with a ritual aarti.

A photograph of a courtyard entrance beside a white wall and green bamboo, with orange marigold strings on the left. A figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair, a rudraksha-style presence not clearly visible, stands on a paved path with palms pressed or hands extended in greeting toward a woman in a pink dupatta and salwar with a floral arrangement. Beside her a man in a light pink shirt and a boy in a checked shirt join palms in welcome. On the left a person in white with a yellow shawl leans toward a black car. A potted plant sits near the greeting. A man in the foreground at right holds a red and orange flower garland. Six people are visible in total.
