A seated figure in a red-brown garment, arms spread wide, sits on an ornate carved throne decorated with white and orange flower garlands in a pavilion with a white wall and a red cloth hanging at the left. Several people sit on the raised white platform in front of him: a man in white, women in white and orange, a shaved-headed person in an orange robe, and a woman in a green sari with a flower in her hair. A second seated figure in a red turban and garland sits to the right beside a white statue, and a deity murti with a red and gold garment sits at the far right beside lamps and flowers. Flower petals lie on the steps.

Behind him stands a white statue of a figure wearing a red turban and garlands. In front, devotees sit on a raised platform: a white-haired woman in a blue-bordered white sari raises her hand, a young person in a white dhoti and saffron cloth sits near the front, and several young people in saffron and white garments, including a shaved-headed boy in orange, sit in a padapuja setting with offerings and brass vessels. A man in a white shirt sits with his back to the camera. Visible ritual setting suggests a padapuja gathering.2014-07-03A small whitewashed room with a raised platform hosts a padapuja ceremony. A bald priest in a maroon and yellow cloth, with white ash markings on his forehead and arm, holds a lit multi-tiered aarti lamp toward the seated figure. Seated on an ornate wooden throne with a trident and floral garlands is a man in an orange-red robe wearing a red-and-gold headdress, a figure who could be considered a person given his crown-like headwear and saffron-red clothing, though his face is not clearly visible. Beside him, a white-garlanded statue of a deity in red robes sits on a plinth. Around the platform, devotees in orange sannyasi-style cloth and white clothes sit with offering plates of flowers and lamps, while a woman in a green sari stands at right. Red curtains hang at the window.2014-07-03July 13 20032003-07-13A seated man in a red robe and a gold-bead garland sits on a gold ornate throne at the front of a hall, backed by a blue curtain and a flower-decorated arch of red, yellow, and purple blossoms. Below the throne, a group of devotees sits on an orange floor cloth: a shaved-headed monk in orange and gold-bordered white, a woman in a white sari with a yellow-bordered shawl, another woman in white, and a man in white dhoti with a tilak on his forehead, hands joined in namaste. A woman in a white sari holds a small silver bowl and a cup, and a microphone stand sits to the side.
