In the foreground, a bearded man in a grey shirt and a woman in a teal sari with a red-and-gold border sit with marigold garlands, the woman with a tilak on her forehead. Centre right, a man in white clothes and a red shawl with a marigold garland sits with head bowed while a young boy in white kurta stands behind him placing a hand on his head. Behind them, several people in saffron and orange robes sit on white chairs in the background. Marigold petals and water bottles lie on the floor.

A photograph of a house visit where devotees gather around a seated figure in orange and rust-coloured robes wearing a long garland of red flowers and beaded ornaments. The seated figure, on the right with short dark hair, is smiling. Several people crowd in on the left: a woman in a red sari and gold necklace leans forward, an older man in white dhoti and shirt with glasses bends over, a shaved-headed man in white with a red sash kneels and holds red flowers, and children reach forward with flowers. A woman with white hair in a red sari with gold border also reaches in. Hands offer red flowers and petals toward the seated figure. Background shows orange-clad attendants standing near a pole.
