Close-up photograph of a seated figure in rust-red saffron robes, wearing layered rudraksha mala necklaces of brown seed beads, with a red-and-orange beaded garland across the chest. Their open palm is held out, cupped upward, while another person's hand, wearing a gold ring and a red thread on the wrist, holds a small gold spoon or tongs and places something into the palm. White sacred ash stripes are visible on the upper arm of a second figure at right, who wears white ritual cloth with a gold border. The scene suggests a ritual offering or prasadam being given, with the focus on the hands and beads rather than faces.

Close crop of a seated person in a dark red robe, hand resting on the lap with a rudraksha bracelet on the wrist and a rudraksha mala draped over the chest. Garlands of yellow marigolds and pink-and-white flower strands hang beside the seat, and a leopard-print and tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. The face is not visible, so the identity cannot be determined from the image.

Close crop of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne draped with leopard-print cloth and a red-maroon cushion. The person wears a rust-orange robe with gold border, rudraksha bracelets on both wrists, and a large gold ceremonial pendant with multiple gold beads and rudraksha malas. Only the lower body, bare feet, hands and arms are visible; the face is outside the frame. A cloth-draped setting with a red backdrop suggests a seated darshan or discourse.

A photograph of a blessing scene indoors before a red curtain and a gilded ornate shrine with a small lamp. A woman in an orange-red turban and orange sari, wearing a white, yellow and orange marigold garland and a rudraksha mala, rests her right hand on the head of a bald man in a white striped shirt who is pressing his palms together in namaskar. Seated behind them is a shaved-headed man in an orange-brown robe with a yellow forehead band and a long rudraksha mala, looking down. Oranges sit in the foreground on a table, and a fan stands at right.

Close photo of a seated man in a rust-orange robe wearing multiple strands of rudraksha beads, with a rudraksha bracelet on his wrist and another on his upper arm. He holds his right palm open while his left hand rests on it, and a gold chain shows at his collar. Behind him are a silver-toned ornate throne backdrop and a red fabric drape, and a leopard-print cushion lies in the lower corners. A small metal dish appears at the left edge.

Close-up of two hands clasped together in front of a red-orange garment. Rudraksha mala beads wrap around the wrists, and marigold garlands in bright orange and yellow with a golden deity figure are draped over the arms. Only hands and forearms are visible, so no full person can be seen; the setting is blurred.

Close photo of a person's hands and forearms in a mudra-like gesture, with the cupped right hand held palm-up and the left hand extended over it. The wrists and upper arm wear multiple rudraksha malas with dark brown beads. The garment is a saffron-red cloth with rudraksha strands draped across the chest. Behind the hands is a silver ceremonial object with an ornate, possibly elephant-head or chariot-like form, and a blurred red and yellow background.
