A photograph inside a room with dark slate-grey walls, a yellow tiled panel on the left, hanging brass bells and oil lamps, and a black tripod-mounted camera. On the right, a man with a gold crown and a shawl draped over his shoulders sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests, covered in leopard-print and tiger-striped fabric, wearing a pink flower garland and gesturing with one raised hand. Five men sit cross-legged on the floor at left, several with white forehead markings, rudraksha beads and bare upper bodies; one clasps his hands in prayer while others hold brass trays of flowers, lamps and offerings on a low table. A white ceiling fan and a wall air conditioner are also visible.

A seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with golden lion armrests and leopard-print cushions wears a dark red-maroon robe, a golden crown and a long pink-and-white flower garland, and has a bare upper body with a sacred ash mark on the forehead. Before him, several devotees kneel at a low table holding silver plates with flower petals and offerings; one woman wears a green sari with a maroon border, another wears a red blouse, and a man with bare torso and white forehead markings leans in. A woman in white clothing reaches toward the throne from the lower right. A camera on a tripod stands at left.2017-07-28A photograph of a ceremonial padapuja-style honouring inside a dim room with a dark backdrop and hanging brass bells and oil lamps. A seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads and leopard-print cushions wears a gold crown, a white and pink flower garland, and a rust-red robe. Before him, a small group sits on the floor behind a low golden table holding silver plates of flowers and offerings. A bare-chested man with a white forehead marking and a rudraksha mala holds a small cup, a woman in orange sari and red blouse sits beside him, and a woman in a pink-and-green sari and another person sit at the left edge. A video camera on a tripod is visible at left. The throne figure has distinctive gold crown and garland cues, so he is a probable candidate, but his appearance is not clearly established enough to confirm.2017-07-28May 27 20132013-05-27Inside a temple shrine, a man seated on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions and gold lion-head armrests wears a pink-and-white flower garland and a red-orange cloth.
