The seated person wears an orange robe, a long red-and-white flower garland, rudraksha beads, and gold necklaces, with a red shawl draped over the shoulder; the presentation is consistent with the a person candidate, with the adornments as cues. A bald man in a white dhoti stands at left holding a red cloth and a small puja item, and a second bald man in orange cloth stands at right holding a tray of red cloths.

A photograph of a ceremonial moment on a stage. A bearded man seated on an ornate gold and red throne wears saffron-orange robes, rudraksha malas, gold necklaces, white garland of flowers and a white tilak on his forehead; he extends his hand to a red and white flower garland. Two young men in saffron-orange dhotis stand beside him: the nearer one, bare-chested with rudraksha beads and a gold-toned tray in front, holds the garland tray; another stands behind. A tall golden trident stands between them, with blue stage lights and red drapes behind. Seated figure may be a person based on saffron clothing, ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha malas and a long swept-back hairstyle on a throne, presented as a seated honoured guest.

Photograph of a ceremonial scene in a richly decorated tent-like room with red and gold drapery. A seated figure on an ornate gold throne wears a red turban, a red-and-gold robe and a long gold necklace, with hands resting on the lap; the figure's appearance is consistent with a person based on the turban, ornate gold chair and ceremonial dress, though the identification is uncertain. Behind the throne, a standing attendant in a red-and-gold shawl and gold garland holds a trident staff, and another attendant in a white and gold garment and garland stands at the right. A seated attendant with shaved head, sandalwood marks and a gold garland sits on a patterned rug beside a brass oil lamp. At right, an elderly ascetic with long matted grey hair and beard, wearing a saffron wrap with a colourful woven shawl, bows toward the throne holding a long staff. Brass lamps and a brass kalasha stand in the background.
