In the centre, a man in an orange saffron garment with a red-and-gold tilak and multiple rudraksha malas raises one palm toward an older man in a white shirt, who holds his hands together in greeting. Beside him, a monk in an orange robe holds a silver tray with flowers and offerings. Behind them, other men in white dhotis wear gold necklaces, and a bald man in a white garment stands at right. A seated figure appears at left in a red shirt. a person: the central man has long dark hair and rudraksha malas over an orange robe, but these cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so he is described by role as a devotee-type figure in orange.

Indoor event photo in a hall with colourful striped pillar banners and white ceiling canopy. A young person with long dark hair and a red bindi wears a red-orange garment with a red-and-gold border and a long gold-beaded necklace; they hold open a yellow and red printed booklet while looking down. An older man with white hair in a white kurta and white shawl stands before them holding a red-covered booklet and a yellow leaflet. Other white-clad men with shaved heads and a bearded elder stand nearby; a man in a dark striped shirt presses his palms together at left. The printed page caption refers to a pada pooja and satsang procession, but the figures visible here are standing devotees rather than a clearly identifiable ritual.

A photograph of a ceremonial exchange under a white canopy hung with colourful striped pillars. A man with long dark hair, a red tilak mark on his forehead, a red saffron-coloured shawl and a heavy gold-beaded necklace accepts a folded paper from an elderly white-haired man in a white kurta and shawl, who bends forward and offers it with both hands. A man in a dark striped shirt stands at left with palms pressed together in namaste. Other men in white dhotis and an orange-robed attendant stand nearby, and a tray of food offerings sits in the foreground. The attendant on the far right wears orange robes. The man with long hair has appearance cues of distinctive long hair, a red shawl and gold ceremonial necklace, which fit the Swamiji (probable) label; he is receiving a petition in a role of honour.

Behind them, shaven-headed men in white and an orange-robed monk stand near a silver tray at the bottom edge. The man in red has long swept-back hair and a crown-free but ornate, distinctive presentation with multiple rudraksha malas and a ceremonial gold necklace, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in the central role of receiving a petition. Background includes yellow and orange drapes.
