A photograph of a small room with pale walls and a window with sheer curtains. A woman with long dark hair in an orange saffron sari sits centrally on a low seat, with a fruit and flower offering tray in front of her. A man in an orange robe with long hair and a beard stands behind her in orange clothing. Several men in white shirts and white dhotis sit on chairs on the left, and one man kneels with his forehead on the floor near the offerings, while another bends forward in obeisance. A man in a dhoti with a shirtless upper body and forehead tilak stands on the right with arms folded. Rose petals scattered on the tiled floor suggest a bhoomi puja ceremony.

A photo inside a small room with cream walls and a zebra-striped cushioned seat draped with a red flower garland and a white cloth. A figure in an orange saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl, long dark hair, and a large medallion on a garland bows forward, appearing to touch the feet of a man in a white shirt and white dhoti who bends low. A man in a white shirt with a gold wristwatch stands beside them, and a figure in a green and gold sari is at the right edge. A small glass case with a deity murti sits in the background. The orange-robed figure matches the appearance cues of the page's subject, so the label is a person, though the face is not used for identification.

A photograph in a plain room with pale yellow walls and a tiled floor. A long-haired person in a saffron-orange garment with a gold necklace sits on a zebra-striped throne chair and extends a foot toward a seated elderly woman in white clothes and glasses, who has her hands clasped. Standing nearby are a young man in a white kurta and a woman in an orange sari with a maroon border, with a bald man in white seated at the left edge and another figure at the right. The scene suggests a padapuja-style foot-honouring ritual; a brass pot sits on the floor near the throne. The person on the throne matches the a person cues of long swept hair, saffron clothing and gold ornaments.

A photograph inside a domestic room with wooden cabinets and a framed image on the wall. A man with long swept-back hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and a garland of white and red flowers over an orange-red garment, sits on a cushioned chair holding a tall silver staff with a crest. He appears to be the central figure receiving honour. An older man in a white shirt bends forward at lower left, and an older woman in orange and pink sari with glasses rests her hand on his shoulder. A young man in white dhoti with rudraksha beads sits on the floor beside a bunch of bananas, and another person in orange stands behind. Two standing men in the background observe the scene.

A seated figure in a rust-orange sleeveless top and a white flower garland sits on a red upholstered throne before a large gold-leaf backrest carved with ornate scrollwork. A gilded lion sculpture rests in the foreground. Beside the throne, a shaven-headed man in saffron robes bends forward to touch bananas and offerings from a basket, while another person in the lower right handles the fruit. Behind them, women in saffron robes with rudraksha malas stand on a red carpet in a hall with maroon curtains, a pedestal fan, and a wall framed photo collage. A woman in a white dress and another in a saffron sari stand nearby, with a sari-clad woman at right. Clean photo of a ritual reception or darshan setting.

A photograph inside a white-walled room with a large backdrop mural of a banyan tree and a temple gateway with painted deity figures. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a red-and-gold throne-like seat is being honoured; a man in white kneels and bows with his head touching the feet of the seated figure. Nearby, a man in white with a red-and-gold shawl stands with hands folded, a woman in an orange shawl and a woman in white with gold border stand and watch, and a shaved-headed attendant in orange with beads stands at right. A gold oil lamp and a small ornate box sit beside the seat, and a red patterned rug covers the floor. The seated figure has long hair and a rudraksha mala, a cue consistent with a person, but the appearance is not conclusive.
