Outdoors on a paved courtyard in front of green foliage and a chain-link fence, a man in an orange saffron kurta with a red tilak on his forehead and round-framed glasses smiles while greeting a visitor. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a moustache stands beside him, gesturing with his hands. On the right, a person with long dark hair and white body markings wears a cream and orange cloth and holds a silver pot with a banana-leaf and coconut top, a ceremonial welcome offering. Several other men in white dhotis stand in the background, and a red-ringed flower tree shows at upper left.

A photograph of an older man in a white shirt and white dhoti-style trousers, wearing a rudraksha mala and a tilak on his forehead, clasping hands with a seated man in orange-saffron robes with long dark hair swept back. The seated man sits beside an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions and gilded carved panels. Behind them, a younger man in orange robes stands with arms folded, and a woman in a yellow sari is partly visible. A tray of yellow and orange flowers and fruit sits on the lower left. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, matching the appearance-based cues for a person as a person seated on the throne, though this is uncertain.

A smiling man in an orange saffron sannyasi-style dress and orange shawl stands outdoors, wearing a long string of gold-coloured beads and a red tilak on his forehead. He reaches toward a brass tray holding a coconut and mango leaves, offered by a man in a white shirt on the right. A man in a striped shirt on the left stands facing him, and a pink flower garland is visible. Several men in white shirts stand behind in an open courtyard with a corrugated roof and a white building. Whether the saffron-clad man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.

A photograph of a devotee in a white shirt and white dhoti-style trousers with a rudraksha mala around his neck, hands joined in namaskar, bending forward as a man in saffron/orange robes places his right hand on the devotee's forehead in a blessing gesture. Two more saffron-robed men stand in the background, and a gold-coloured ornate throne or seat with a red cloth is visible at right beside a golden lion figure. The setting appears to be an open-sided hall with green trees outside.

Outdoor street scene in front of a building with golden fleur-de-lis finials on a canopy edge. A bare-chested man with long dark hair, wearing a red-orange shawl and a large red flower garland with green leaves and rudraksha beads, smiles and gestures toward an older man in white shirt and gold wristwatch who stands with palms pressed together in greeting. Behind them a smiling man in white dhoti and orange shawl holds a small object, and a shaved-headed attendant in saffron clothing stands at left. A woman in a sari holds a floral offering at right. Trees and a parked car are visible.

The seated man wears an orange robe and a long orange shawl, and has long dark hair tied back. Behind them, other people in orange robes and white clothing stand near a white curtain, and a gold ornamental decoration and fruit sit in the foreground.
