A photograph of a VIP visit at an outdoor event with a red backdrop. In the foreground, a man in a black-and-white checked shirt with a red lanyard holds a white phone and an apple-like fruit, smiling as he leans in toward a figure seated on the right. That figure has long dark hair, a flower garland of white, yellow and pink blooms, and an orange robe, and extends a hand toward the man. Behind them, a shaved-headed devotee in orange with a rudraksha mala sits, and a man in white with a gold-bordered dhoti and gold necklaces stands among onlookers. A boy in a sleeveless top and several people holding phones and a camera tripod are visible at the left and rear. The figure in the orange robe has long hair and a flower garland but no clear crown, turban or ceremonial gold necklace, so identity is uncertain.

A photograph of an indoor event on a red-draped stage. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange cloth, a multi-coloured floral garland of marigolds and pink flowers, and a rudraksha-style mala, extends one hand toward a man kneeling in front of him. The kneeling man wears a dark green and white checked shirt with a red lanyard and holds a white phone. Behind them a young man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala sits, and a bald man in orange cloth is nearby. Several onlookers stand at the back holding up mobile phones, including a boy in a white vest and people in striped shirts and saffron garments. A tripod-mounted camera stands at the right edge of the stage. A red fruit rests in the seated figure's lap.
