A framed portrait of a long-haired man in saffron-orange clothing with a rudraksha-style necklace is garlanded with red, orange and green flower strings above a ritual setup. In front, a tall brass kalasha-like vessel sits on a wooden tray over a green cloth, with a brass oil lamp burning beside it. A hand holding a ladle or spoon is at the lower left, and a brass vessel and yellow cloth lie in the foreground. The scene appears to be a puja or aarti. Since the portrait is a printed image, it is not counted as a physical person, and the man in it is shown only as a depiction.

A photograph of a puja set-up in an indoor room. Centre-back, a large framed portrait on an easel-like stand shows a bare-chested figure with long dark hair and a sacred beaded necklace, seated against a dark backdrop, and it is garlanded with a multicoloured flower chain and pink flowers. In front, a silver-and-gold tray holds a white conical sculpted mound with a small sacred offering, flanked by a brass oil lamp (deepam) and a bowl. The tray rests on a green cloth with gold border. At lower left, a man's hand and white clothing are partly visible, and a steel vessel and small bowls sit in the foreground.
