A small shrine niche with black tiled backing on a pale green wall. A framed portrait garlanded with white and orange flowers stands on a ledge with brass lamps and a small brass kalasha-like object. Three people face the shrine with hands folded in prayer: a woman on the left in a white sari with gold border and a long black braid with pink flowers, a woman in the centre in an orange garment with a red-and-white garland, and a person on the right in an orange robe and shawl with long dark hair. Two of them appear to be in the orange robes of renunciates. The portrait shows a man in orange with a beaded necklace and long dark hair, a depiction candidate for a person, though the appearance is only partly clear.

A photograph inside a plain room with cream walls and a fluorescent tube light. In the foreground a person with long dark hair in an orange robe bows with palms pressed together before a brass oil lamp (deepam) with a lit flame and a tray of flowers. A man in white dhoti and shirt holds a yellow-cloth-wrapped tray nearby. Behind, a woman in a white sari with red border stands with folded hands, and another woman in a white and red-patterned sari stands at left. On the right, a framed photograph of a seated figure in orange robes and rudraksha mala is garlanded with white jasmine and red flowers and set on an orange and green silk-draped stand. The framed figure is a portrait, not a physical person; any identification of the orange-robed figure in the foreground is an appearance-based candidate only.

A photograph of a devotional setting. On the left, a bearded man with long dark hair wears an orange robe and stands with palms pressed together in prayer. In the centre, a framed portrait of a smiling man with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and a rudraksha mala, sits in meditation pose against a tree-trunk backdrop; the frame is decorated with a white jasmine garland and red flowers. A woman in a white sari with gold border and a dark beaded necklace, holding a small lamp, stands at right, while other women in red and blue clothing stand behind her. In front of the portrait is a brass oil lamp with several lit wicks and a brass bird-shaped ornament, set on a gold and maroon cloth. Other women are visible in the background.

A photo inside a long, plain hall with a corrugated roof and cream walls. A bearded man in a saffron-orange robe with long swept-back hair stands with palms joined, facing a framed portrait decorated with white and red flower garlands on an orange-and-green cloth draped over a low table. A tall brass oil lamp with lit flames stands before the portrait, with a brass vessel and flower offerings on a tray nearby. Beside him, a woman in a white dress with a yellow shawl and a man in white with a yellow garment also stand with hands folded. Several devotees in white sarees and white clothes stand in the foreground with their backs to the camera, and an older woman in a white sari with glasses joins her palms at the right edge.

The setting is a plain hall with yellowish walls and a corrugated roof. The portrait is a printed depiction, and the individual in the orange robe is not clearly identified.
