Photograph taken indoors at a doorway of a temple-like room with wooden doors and a framed picture on the left wall. A man in an orange saffron robe with a matching orange turban stands at centre, wearing a long multi-strand rudraksha-style mala of brown and orange beads with a gold pendant. A large elderly man in a white shirt and trousers leans in from the right, reaching with both arms to place or adjust a purple and gold shawl over the saffron-clad figure's shoulders. A third man in white stands behind them, and another person is partly visible at the far right edge. Visible cues on the central figure include saffron clothing, a turban and a rudraksha mala, but the appearance is not conclusive enough to confirm identity, so the figure is described by role only.

A photograph of an indoor ritual in a hall with pale walls and a red-and-white lower wall. A young man in an orange robe with a red sash and rudraksha mala kneels and holds a white cloth bundle on the head of a devotee in a white shirt, who stands with palms pressed together and eyes closed. Several other men in white shirts and white head bundles stand behind them. A brass lamp or ritual vessel sits on a granite surface at lower right. The orange-robed figure has short hair and a white tilak on the forehead; there are no clear cues to identify him as a person, so he is described by role only.
