A stage ceremony where a bearded man in saffron-orange robes with a long beaded necklace leans forward to receive a gold-and-orange folded item from a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and dark trousers, while a third man in white shirt and glasses stands behind to assist. An ornate gold chair with red velvet cushions is at the right. A large orange banner behind them carries Kannada script and a portrait of a man with a red forehead mark. Two of the men wear white clothing; the saffron-robed figure is the focal point. Photo shows a presentation exchange, with the saffron-robed man appearing to be a person by his long beard, ornate necklace and orange robes.

Indoor event photo of a welcome ceremony. On the right, a man in an orange robe with an orange shawl and a white flower garland smiles and reaches toward a small stack of papers held by a man in a white kurta with glasses. Beside them, a young man with long, swept-back dark hair wears an orange robe and a red-brown cord, with a red tilak on his forehead. Behind them, a man in glasses wears a white kurta and orange shawl, another wears a yellow garment, and on the left several men in white and orange clothing stand with hands pressed together in greeting. The orange-robed man on the right has long hair and wears a garland, which matches the a person cues of a long hairstyle and saffron clothing, but the appearance is not conclusive.

Photograph of a stage event with yellow and magenta draped backdrop and palm fronds. A man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with long dark hair, holds out a gold-coloured object over a folded orange cloth on a decorated table. Beside him, a man in an orange turban and orange robe, with long hair, looks down at the exchange. A man in a striped shirt and dark trousers and an older man with white hair in a beige sleeveless top are handling the object. Two standing onlookers, one in pale blue and one in white with sunglasses, watch from the sides. Persons, not screens, are physically present. The scene appears to show the presentation of a book, though no printed name is legible.

A photograph of an exchange at a seated ceremonial setting. An older man with short white hair, wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and a dark rudraksha mala, stands facing right and smiles while accepting a folded paper from a younger man seated on a gilded golden throne with red upholstery. The seated man wears an orange robe and a long orange shawl, and has long dark hair tied back. Behind them, other people in orange robes and white clothing stand near a white curtain, and a gold ornamental decoration and fruit sit in the foreground.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a long garland of green lime-like beads draped over the shoulders, sitting on an ornate gold-and-red throne. A man in a white kurta with a red tilak on his forehead and an ID badge leans forward, offering a dark wooden tray or book to the seated figure. To the left, a man in a white shirt with his palms pressed together bows toward them, and a woman in a green sari stands at the edge of the frame. Several men in white dhotis and shirts stand in the background, one with white vibhuti on his forehead, in front of a dark curtain and a pale wall. Visible details identify the throne and garlands, but the seated figure's appearance does not clearly establish the identity of the person.

A photograph of a welcoming moment at an indoor event with a painted banyan-tree backdrop. A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a white flower garland, receives a printed card or certificate held by a man in white kurta with glasses. Around them, men in white and orange shawls smile and watch, and a man in a yellow shawl stands further back. Persons in white kurtas and orange robes gather near a stage. A rudraksha-style neck adornment is not clearly visible.

A seated figure on a gold-decorated throne with red cushions and garlands, dressed in a yellow turban, yellow shawl and yellow dhoti with a gold necklace, receives a white gift bag from a man in an orange shirt and white dhoti who bends forward to hand it over. A bald man in white dhoti and orange-red shawl stands at left holding a white bag, and a woman in a red and maroon sari with gold jewellery stands at right holding a white gift bag. A brass oil lamp stands beside the throne, and a green and white draped backdrop with flowers and a kalasha-style canopy hangs behind. The seated figure shows distinctive yellow turban and ornate gold adornments, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
