Indoor photo in a plain room with white walls, a ceiling fan and framed posters. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe sits on a red upholstered sofa with floral cover, smiling and receiving papers or a folder from a man in a striped shirt and khaki trousers. Behind them stand several onlookers: a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl, a uniformed officer in khaki, and a young man in a yellow shirt on the left. The seated figure shows a distinctive long swept-back hair and orange robe, consistent with the a person description, though appearance alone is uncertain.

A photograph of a blessing scene. A woman with long dark wavy hair, wearing an orange-red sari, sits on a white-draped seat with a pink cushion and places both hands on the head of a man who kneels before her in a white shirt and grey trousers. A white flower garland lies on the orange cloth at the base of the seat, and a plate with offerings sits on a white table beside her. Behind them, standing devotees wear white kurtas and dhotis, orange shawls and rudraksha malas, with a young man in a white kurta, orange shawl and mala among them. A child in a brown patterned jacket stands at the left edge. The seated woman's appearance does not match the a person description, so she is described by role only.

The robed figure wears a red and yellow flower garland and has long dark hair and a crown-like ornament, with bare shoulder visible. Behind them, seated devotees in white and pale clothing and a red carpet fill a bright indoor hall with a window and lamp.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back black hair and a rudraksha mala sits on a gold-carved throne with plush red cushions, placing one hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears a white kurta, a rudraksha mala and has his hands clasped in prayer with eyes closed. Behind them, a man in white dhoti with maroon border and gold necklace stands with hands folded, and another person in orange garments stands in the background.

Indoor photo in a living room with cream walls, beige carpet and orange-and-cream checked curtains. A man in an orange robe, orange head wrap and rudraksha mala sits on a brown leather sofa with long dark hair and a bare chest visible, and appears to be the seated central figure. A man in a white shirt bends low to touch the feet of the seated figure while an older man in a grey shirt and rudraksha mala sits beside him with a hand resting on the sofa. Other men stand around in white shirts, a lavender checked shirt and a woman in a peach sari with long hair, one wearing rudraksha; a man with glasses and a rudraksha mala stands at left. Ceremonial touching of feet suggests a respectful visit, but this is a visible action only.
