Photograph inside a shrine room at an ashram. A seated figure in an orange turban, orange-saffron garments, a white and yellow flower garland and red beaded necklaces leans forward to offer a fruit to a kneeling man in a red t-shirt and glasses, who receives it with folded hands. Behind them, a woman in white with a tilak and a woman in an orange and cream sari with a gold border stand by.

Several people are visible; the seated figure is an appearance-based a person candidate.2015-06-02A photograph of a seated figure on a golden-armed throne with a deep red turban and red-brown saffron robe, rudraksha mala necklaces and a bracelet, smiling broadly.

An elderly woman in a cream sari, wearing gold bangles and glasses, kneels and offers a white cloth to the seated figure's extended hand.

A bare-shouldered figure in a rust-orange turban and orange-and-gold garment, wearing layered white and orange flower garlands, rudraksha bead bracelets and gold armlets, holds a ripe banana toward a kneeling man in a white collared shirt, who bows his head and reaches for the offering.
