A photograph of a shirtless man with shoulder-length dark hair and white tilak markings stands at left with palms pressed together in namaste, wearing a rudraksha mala and an orange-and-maroon dhoti. Behind him on the wall is a tall printed portrait of a bearded figure in a red turban with a gold emblem, rudraksha-style gold necklaces, gold armbands and red robes, seated on a tiger-skin cushion with one hand raised in blessing. The portrait is a depiction, not a physical person. On a table in front lie a silver Nataraja figurine, small brass oil lamps, a small framed picture, a brass bell and a maroon flag with gold fringe. A red cylindrical container sits at the far left edge of the table.

A photograph of a shaved-headed... no, a man with shoulder-length dark hair standing bare-chested with a brownish-orange dhoti wrapped at the waist, palms pressed together in namaste and rudraksha malas around his neck. He stands at left in a plain cream-walled room. At right, a tall printed banner shows a seated figure in a red turban and red-orange robes, with a heavy gold necklace and bracelets, hand raised in blessing, seated on a tiger-patterned cushion. Below the banner, an orange-draped altar holds brass lamps, a kalasha-style pot, a Nataraja figurine, a small framed photo, a red-capped jar and a small red flag.
