A photograph of an indoor scene in a bright room with a gold-and-orange chair. On the left, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti sits on an orange cushioned chair, holding a red apple in one hand and extending the other toward a bare-chested man in an orange-brown cloth with long hair and multiple gold beaded necklaces, who sits on a gold-trimmed chair with his palms open and cupped toward him. Behind them, a man in orange robes with rudraksha beads stands near a dark red box with apples on top. Another orange-robed man stands at left holding a phone. The setting suggests an exchange of fruit offering, a common gesture of blessing.

Indoor photo of a home visit during a pada puja. A man in white clothes and black-rimmed glasses, with a white tilak on his forehead, bows his head while a person in a dark maroon sleeveless garment with a large rudraksha mala and gold bangles, with hair swept back and gold earrings, presses a hand to his head and holds a red-and-white flower garland near him. Behind them a young boy in saffron cloth and white garland stands, and a red-skinned fruit is held on an orange cloth. A man with a camera at left films the scene.

Indoor photo of a satsang-style gathering in a hall with red curtains, colourful striped pillars and a gold throne-like seat with a stand in the background. A man in a long-sleeved white shirt bows forward and offers a red apple to a central figure with long dark hair swept back, a white tilak, a pink-and-white flower garland and a rudraksha mala, wearing an orange-saffron wrap and smiling. Around them, several men in saffron dhotis with rudraksha malas stand watching, and other attendees in dark and pink shirts stand behind. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, garland and rudraksha mala cues, and is receiving the apple from the man in white.
