A photograph inside a home with bright red curtains and a white wall. A person in an orange-saffron robe with a red flower garland sits on a cushion and places a hand on the head of an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti who bends forward, hands clasped at her feet in a gesture of reverence. A standing man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds a framed photo, and an older woman with white hair and glasses in a blue-grey sari watches. A person in a yellow top sits at lower left and another in a patterned outfit stands at right. The orange-robed figure's appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the a person field is unsure.

A photograph of a home visit in a marble-floored interior with arched doorway and tall windows. A seated figure in an orange robe and a white flower garland touches the forehead of an older man in white shirt and white dhoti who bows with hands folded. Behind them stands a woman in a beige and maroon sari, and a younger person in white with a yellow shawl holds a red tray of apples. Several men in white kurtas and a woman in a green sari holding a small child watch, and a cameraman films the moment. The orange-robed figure's identity is not established by appearance, so this is a devotee receiving blessing from an orange-robed person.2010-02-17A seated figure in an orange-saffron cloth with a white and yellow-red marigold garland and a tilak on the forehead has a hand raised toward a bent-over devotee's head, while another devotee in a white shirt and dark trousers leans in beside a woman in a maroon sari bowing with her hands near his feet. A bearded man in a white kurta and orange shawl stands behind them, and a woman in white looks on from the background. A low white-covered bench holds a bamboo tray of banknotes, a steel tumbler and a gold-tipped walking stick. The setting is an indoor hall with windows, a striped floor mat and a blue-framed table. The seated figure's distinctive long hair and saffron robes are visible cues, but the identity is uncertain from appearance.2006-12-10July 22 20122012-07-22A seated man with shaved head and a light-brown shawl over orange-red robes sits in a wooden armchair draped with an orange cloth, wearing a white and yellow flower garland and a dark rudraksha-style mala.
