Two seated figures in orange robes on ornate gold thrones with red cushions, in a temple-like hall. The seated figure on the left, with long hair tied back, gold chain necklace and white forehead markings, extends a hand toward a kneeling woman in a pink top whose palms are pressed together in reverence. The figure on the right is bald, wears a red beaded headband, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, and holds a small white offering in one hand over a brass bowl. A tall white cooler stands behind the thrones, a staff member in light green shirt is partly visible at top left, and a child with hair tied back sits at lower centre. Printed copyright text overlays the lower right of the image.

A photograph of a seated figure on a golden-cushioned throne draped with a red-orange shawl, wearing a long garland of pink and white flowers, rudraksha beads and gold chain, smiling as a devotee in an orange cloth bows and touches his feet on the floor. A standing man in white dhoti with gold border, rudraksha mala and arm bands stands to the left beside a gold-ornamented pillar, and a bald priest in orange stands behind. Behind the throne a large floral backdrop of yellow, orange and red flowers. Flower petals scattered on the floor, a brass lamp stands nearby.

A seated figure on a gold-framed throne with a colourful floral backrest is receiving ritual honour inside a hall with red drapes and an air conditioner. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron robe, a rudraksha mala and a multi-strand flower garland, and is smiling. A kneeling man in an orange robe with a bald head bends forward to touch the seated figure's hands. A man in white dhoti and shirt with a flower garland kneels on the right holding a silver tray with offerings, and another orange-robed person sits at the far right edge. Gold-framed decorative elements and a green curtain appear behind. Four people are visible. The seated figure is presented as a person candidate by appearance cues of saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garlands; the identification is uncertain.

Photo of a ritual at a temple-style hall. An elderly bald man with a shaved head, wearing orange clothes, rudraksha malas and a gold-banded headpiece, sits on an ornate gold throne-like seat with a red cushion and holds a small metal cup. A younger man in saffron-orange robes kneels before him, his hands reaching to the seated man's feet, while another man in a teal shirt and white dhoti bends forward, and a pair of kneeling devotees in white and orange sit on the wooden floor. Standing onlookers in white and pastel clothing watch, and a white air cooler stands behind them. Padapuja-style foot worship appears to be taking place, with a gold lion-headed armrest and a red-and-orange flag in the background.
