A photograph of a devotee lying prostrate on an orange cloth in front of an ornate golden-and-red throne-style chair. On the chair sits a framed portrait of a long-haired man in saffron-orange robes, wearing a rudraksha-style bead necklace and raising one hand in blessing, garlanded with a thick red and white flower garland. The prostrate devotee wears white ritual clothing with a red-bordered cloth and a gold ornament in the ear. Brass puja vessels, a kalasha-style pot, an oil lamp, a bowl of offerings and a folded orange cloth lie on the floor before the chair. Behind the throne, gold and yellow garlands and a carved stone temple wall are visible. The portrait is a printed image, not a physical person on the chair, and the prostration is a ritual act of honour.

A devotee in a white shirt and grey trousers kneels on a red-carpeted floor and bows forward, touching the bare feet of a seated figure. The seated person wears a rust-brown dhoti or robe and sits on a gold-carved throne with red cushions. Marigold, jasmine and yellow flower petals are scattered on the carpet, and a red velvet cushion lies in front of the throne. A large garland of red and white flowers drapes over the throne's arm.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long rudraksha mala and gold necklace sits on a large white cushioned throne with a round white bolster, holding papers and smiling, with a red tilak on his forehead. A devotee in white clothes kneels at his feet on a red-and-white rug, head bowed and one hand on the throne's edge in devotion. Vases of pink and white flowers stand on tables on either side, a microphone stand is at right, and dark red curtains form the backdrop.

A man in white kurta with white embroidered pattern bows deeply with his forehead touching the feet of a seated figure wearing orange robes and a leopard-print shawl with a red-and-green flower garland at the waist. The man has folded hands and wears glasses. The seated figure is on a golden-brown upholstered seat. In the foreground are yellow, orange and pink marigold and flower petal arrangements on the floor and a polished brass vessel at the right edge. The seated figure's face is not visible, so no appearance-based a person candidate is established.

A photograph of a ceremonial audience in a red-draped hall. A seated man on a gilded throne with red cushions wears a maroon turban, a maroon shawl, flower garlands and gold bangles, and his hands rest on his lap. Before him a devotee in saffron robes lies prostrate on the red carpet, and a person in white dhoti and shawl with rudraksha beads kneels nearby beside a brass bowl. Several men in white and dhoti attire, one in a yellow shirt, stand along the left, and a cameraman works behind a tripod. Rose petals scatter the floor, and a person's hands hold an offering tray at the lower right.

Dim temple interior with an ornate gold-carved throne (peetha) draped with red cushions and orange and white flower garlands. A framed portrait on the throne shows a figure in orange robes and a beaded necklace. A bald man in white dhoti and white upper cloth kneels at the left, reaching toward the throne in what appears to be a paduka puja offering. Brass oil lamps and a kalasha-style vessel with flowers sit nearby, with a lit flame at the upper right and a red curtain behind. The scene shows a single devotee in worship with no visible crowd.

A hotel room with a red-and-gold patterned carpet and white-covered sofa. A man with a saffron turban and saffron-orange robe sits on the sofa, hands folded in greeting, wearing a multicolour flower garland of red, pink, yellow and white blooms. Another man in white kurta kneels on the carpet bowing with his head near the seated man's feet. Behind them, two people in white stand watching, one woman in white holding a camera and a man in white. A brass lamp stands on a dark side table beside the sofa, and a green potted plant sits above.

A seated figure in a dark red robe with a gold-edged shawl sits in a large brown leather armchair, wearing a white-and-red flower garland and a beaded rudraksha-style mala. A man in white kurta and dhoti kneels and bows low on a red patterned carpet beside a footstool, his hands on the floor. A small brass oil lamp and a white cup sit on an orange-draped table. Another person in red clothing stands at the right edge, and a wall fan is visible at left. The seated figure shows distinctive adornments and a saffron-red garment consistent with a person candidate, but the face and presentation are not clearly identifiable, so the identity is uncertain.
