A seated figure in an orange saffron turban and bare-chested orange garment wears long garlands of pink, white, orange and red flowers and gold armlets. She smiles and extends her hand toward a man in a white short-sleeved shirt with a rust-coloured rudraksha-style mala, who bends forward with cupped hands holding wrapped sweets. Behind them are potted green plants, a cloth-draped table, a small golden deity figure at upper left and a wall fan. The scene suggests an offering of prasad sweets. The seated figure is not an appearance-confirmed a person candidate, so the identity is left unsure.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron turban, bare-shouldered orange cloth and layered garlands of pink, red, orange and white flowers, handing a small packet to a smiling man in a white short-sleeved shirt wearing a long rudraksha mala. A potted green plant and rocks sit behind them, with a small golden deity murti on a shelf at upper left and a tray of sweets in the foreground. Appearance-based cues including the turban, garlands and saffron clothing fit a person receiving the offering, but the face is partly turned and the appearance is not certain enough to confirm. The white-shirted man is the devotee offering or receiving the packet.2015-04-19April 19 20152015-04-19A seated person in an orange-saffron turban and orange-brown robe, with a multicoloured garland of pink, red, orange and white flowers, reaches out to hand something to a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and white dhoti-style trousers who leans in with cupped hands. Gold bangles adorn the seated figure's wrist. In front is a wooden tray holding small wrapped sweets and rudraksha-style beads, while behind them stand potted green plants, rounded stones and a small earthen pot in a plant-filled room with a white air conditioner and a wall fan. A partially visible person in the foreground and a small statue at the upper left are also shown.

Around them are potted green plants, rough stones, a small clay dish and offerings in a tray. The turbaned figure shows the appearance of a distinctive ceremonial presentation, with saffron clothing, turban and floral garlands; the identity is uncertain from appearance alone.2015-04-19April 19 20152015-04-19April 19 20152015-04-19April 19 20152015-04-19April 19 20152015-04-19April 19 20152015-04-19A seated figure in a rust-orange turban and brown satin wrap sits on a red velvet seat before an ornate gold throne back, wearing layered white jasmine and red-and-green flower garlands, gold bangles and gold earrings. The figure smiles and rests one hand on the head of a man in a white shirt who bows low; the bowing man's wristwatch and a pink-and-white card are visible. In the background are green leaves, a clay pot, a green-and-gold deity murti draped in flowers, and seated devotees in white. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's turban, wrap, garlands and gold ornaments match the cues; this is a blessing scene with a devotee bowing and receiving touch on the head.2015-04-23April 19 20152015-04-19
