A photograph outdoors beside a dark grey car with its door open. A woman in an orange-red sari with gold border applies a mark to the forehead of a man in an orange robe with a black turban, who stands with a long red and white flower garland around his neck and a gold-bordered orange shawl. Behind them, men in orange clothing play drums and a large silver pot with a green leaf and yellow flowers sits on a tray held by a person at left. Palm trees and a sunny sky fill the background. The man in the turban has long swept-back hair and a distinctive orange garb cue, so he is a person receiving a welcome with garlands and drumming during the event.

Outdoor photograph of a devotee event beside a dark car on a dry field with palm trees and a white van behind. A smiling man in a rust-red turban and matching robe wears a long white jasmine garland with orange and red flowers, and holds his hands out toward the car. Beside him a woman in white with a red-brown shawl holds a flower offering. A bare-chested man on the right wears white dhoti, a white forehead marking, a rudraksha necklace and ear studs, facing the group. Another smiling person in red robes stands at the right edge, with a bald man in orange cloth on the left.

A photo of a ceremonial welcome outside a white car at a dry, sunlit courtyard with a red brick wall and palm trees behind. A central figure with long dark hair wears a rust-red and gold dhoti-style garment, a long white and red flower garland, and a gold necklace, with white vibhuti marks on the forehead; the person stands with the car door open and is receiving the welcome. To the left, a shaved-headed attendant in a red and gold garment and rudraksha mala opens the car door. On the right, a man in an orange and gold garment and rudraksha mala holds a silver pot of water with a green leaf and a metal bowl, while a younger attendant in a gold-bordered orange cloth stands behind. A devotee in white with folded hands stands at the right edge. Five people are visible.

Outdoor photo on a village lane lined with palm trees and a thatched hut at right. A dark SUV is parked behind a group greeting one another. A bare-chested man with white markings and a rudraksha mala stands at center-left, his hands clasped in greeting. Beside him, a saffron-clad sannyasi in an orange shawl faces away from the camera. At center, a man with a long dark hair, a red-and-gold dhoti, rudraksha necklaces and a flower garland stands with palms together. A man in a deep-orange wrap and beads stands at right near a bare-chested devotee. Several people are visible in the background, including a white-clad figure. The group appears to be exchanging greetings during a visit.

A photograph of a smiling man in a rust-orange and gold dhoti-style garment stepping out beside a white car, wearing a long red and white flower garland, a gold ornate necklace with rudraksha beads, gold armlets and a white tilak on his forehead. Several men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha malas stand around him. A man in white clothes and an orange shawl holds a brass plate with a kalasha-style pot topped with a coconut and flowers, and a devotee in white bends forward to greet him with folded hands. The setting is a courtyard with yellow walls and palms. The man at the centre has long swept-back hair and ornate gold adornments, which is a probable appearance-based match for a person being received with pada puja honours; the printed caption on the image is copyright only.

A man in a white shirt and red shawl at left holds a metal plate, and women in red and white saris stand near, one pouring liquid or offering from a silver plate. Motorcycles and a few onlookers appear in the background, and the scene reads as a welcome or aarti at a village road.
