The seated figure has bare shoulders and a distinctive rudraksha mala with the saffron cloth, a person candidate in an outdoor land-work setting.

A photograph of a bearded elderly man in a saffron-orange robe with a red tilak mark on his forehead, holding a live snake in both hands while looking down at it. Behind him stand two shaven-headed men: one in white with a tilak and glasses, the other with a bare upper body, rudraksha mala and a dark red-orange wrap. A woman in a red sari walks in the background beneath a large banyan-like tree with hanging aerial roots. a person: the orange robe, long white beard and central role with the snake are present, but the face and other cues are not sufficient to confirm identity, so the appearance is uncertain.

A photograph of a standing figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban with hands pressed together in prayer, beside a small black Shiva lingam wrapped in an orange cloth with red flowers and a gold-coloured yoni base. Behind them stands a black stone deity murti in an orange cloth with red flowers and a necklace, on a rocky stone platform. A black-and-white patterned serpent figure curls around the base of the lingam, with a golden hood above. Green trees and dappled shade fill the background.
