A photograph of a padapuja during a home visit in a small yellow-walled room. A seated elderly man in a white shirt with white vibhuti on his forehead has his hands pressed together, sitting beside a young boy in orange robes wearing white and red flower garlands. A woman in orange sari kneels in front, offering a red apple, while another woman in orange with a rudraksha mala and bangles extends her hand. A shaved-headed young man in orange robes with a flower garland pours or arranges items at a small table. Standing at left are a woman in a teal sari with a gold-patterned shawl, a small child, and a man in a striped shirt. A framed deity image and another framed picture hang on the wall. Whether the elderly man in white is a person cannot be established from appearance alone, so he is described by role only.

Photograph of a padapuja-style honouring in a decorated room with a gold-embossed backdrop, floral garlands and a red-and-yellow cushioned seat. A seated figure in orange robes, long dark hair and a pink-and-yellow flower garland receives a young boy in a checked shirt who bends to touch their feet, while a second person in orange with a brown head wrap and gold beaded necklace stands nearby with a gold pendant. A woman in a white and gold-bordered sari with gold bangles stands at left with hands joined, and another woman in yellow is partly visible behind. The seated figure's distinctive long hair and orange robes, with the ceremonial gold necklace, offer only partial appearance cues, so identity remains uncertain.

A photograph of a ceremony in an ornate setting. A seated man on the right wears an orange saffron robe and a long garland of red, yellow, purple and white flowers, with long swept-back dark hair and a bare forehead with a small mark; he sits on a gilded golden throne and smiles while a child in a white shirt has a white thread being tied or placed around the head. A woman in an orange sari with gold bangles and red glass bangles on the left holds the child steady. Behind them a second person in orange robes and a gold chain assists, and a small figure in yellow stands in the background. Green foliage and orange and pink flowers decorate the backdrop. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the saffron robe, flower garland and long hair, performing a blessing ceremony for the child.

A photograph of a home visit inside a living room. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair, wearing saffron/orange robes and a white and maroon flower garland with gold beads, smiles and reaches toward a small boy in a white shirt who holds coloured bangles. A woman in a purple and white saree with a bindi stands on the left, holding bangles. Behind them a man in saffron robes with a saffron head cloth and glasses sits at a red tray of bangles and ornaments. Shelves with trophies and a television are in the background. A partially visible person with long hair is at the right edge.

Photograph inside a domestic living room with pink walls, a white-covered sofa, a television and a Ganesha statue on a shelf at right. A figure in long swept-back hair and saffron robes kneels at left wearing white and green flower garlands and extends an arm toward a small boy in a red-and-grey sweater. Behind them a second person in orange robes and a shawl bends over a white table holding gold bars, a small silver dish and bangles. At right a man in white shirt and trousers with a rudraksha-style mala leans in and steadies the child. At lower left a person in an orange head covering is partly visible above an open red box filled with gold bangles, a gold chain and beads. The kneeling figure has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing with distinctive garlands, a compatible presentation for the page's a person claim, though the appearance is only partly clear.

A seated man with long swept-back dark hair wears a saffron-orange sleeveless garment and a pink, yellow and white flower garland, sitting on a gold-and-cream throne with a red-and-cream cushion. He leans forward smiling as a young boy in a red kurta stands before him, hands held out while a woman in white clothing with a rudraksha mala grips the boy's shoulder. A bald man in orange robes with a gold necklace holds white thread stretched between hands, and a woman in white and yellow stands behind. Green foliage and floral decorations frame the gold throne backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a flower garland and saffron clothing, and sits on a throne; the page names him as present.
