A man in a rust-red robe stands barefoot on a striped rug, wearing a long white and yellow-flower garland, a rudraksha-style mala and a gold pendant, with a red tilak on his forehead. He is scattering pink flower petals with his right hand near a stone niche. In front of him is a neat array of framed portrait plaques with gold pyramid bases, arranged in rows on the rug. A second person in white dhoti stands at the right edge holding a tray of pink petals. The setting appears to be a temple or shrine with carved stone walls and a brass lamp stand at left. The man's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate cues (garland, mala, gold pendant, ochre robe), but the face is not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.

A man in a rust-red robe with a long white and yellow flower garland and a rudraksha mala stands in a temple room, scattering pink flower petals from his raised right hand over rows of small golden framed deity images and gold pyramid-shaped stands on a striped cloth. Stone carved wall panels and a brass lamp stand are behind him. A purple circular logo appears in the lower left. Dress and ornaments mark him as a senior ritual figure performing puja, though the printed caption supplies the name, not his face.2017-05-24May 24 20172017-05-24May 24 20172017-05-24May 24 20172017-05-24A man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe and a long garland of white jasmine with yellow and red flowers stands barefoot before a long row of small framed portrait plaques on gold pyramidal bases, arranged on a striped multicoloured cloth. He wears a gold necklace, has a tilak on his forehead, and gestures with his hands toward the plaques. Behind him, a second man in white dhoti holds a tray of pink flower petals. The setting is a stone temple wall with carved pillars and a brass lamp stand. The plaques display a figure's portrait, but the man's appearance is not clearly established, so no identity is assigned to him.2017-05-24May 24 20172017-05-24May 24 20172017-05-24A man in a rust-brown dhoti and matching wrap stands in a temple hall, wearing a long white and yellow-red flower garland, multiple strands of brown rudraksha-style beads, and a gold ceremonial necklace; he holds a pink flower bunch and looks down at rows of small framed portrait plaques with gold pyramidal bases laid on a striped mat before a carved stone wall and pillar. Swamiji (probable) is described by appearance cues only: long swept-back hair, garland, beads and gold necklace. The scene suggests a puja offering of flowers to the portraits.2017-05-24May 24 20172017-05-24May 26 20172017-05-26May 26 20172017-05-26A man in a rust-red ochre robe stands at right on a striped woven mat, throwing pink flower petals with one raised hand toward a row of small brass oil lamps set on the floor in front.
