Indoor photograph in a room with a wooden glass-front bookcase filled with books and a wall-mounted ceremonial emblem of crossed swords above. Four men stand with palms pressed in namaste. The man on the far left wears an orange-saffron cloth and smiles, partly cropped at the frame edge. Next, a man in a white shirt and dhoti holds a brass tray of bananas and fruit as an offering. Another man in a pale yellow shirt and dark trousers holds a small book and folds his hands. On the far right, a bespectacled man in a white shirt and white dhoti presses his palms together. A printed poster is partly visible on the bookshelf behind the group.

Indoor photograph in a room with a glass-fronted bookcase filled with books on the left and a large wall screen showing a pinkish image on the right. Four men stand in a row. On the far left, a man in a white shirt holds a phone. Next, a barefoot man in a striped grey shirt and white dhoti holds a silver tray of bananas and fruit. A man in a yellow shirt and dark trousers holds a small booklet with both hands. On the far right, a man in a white shirt and white dhoti, with a green-bordered cloth over his shoulder, stands with hands folded and eyes lowered. No one in the frame is shown wearing saffron or ornate ceremonial attire, so no a person candidate is visible.

A photograph taken in a plain white-walled hall with ceiling fans and a wooden door. A man in an orange cloth on the left holds a silver tray of fruit and offerings toward a seated figure in orange robes whose hair is tied up, seen from behind, with a basket of mangoes and a water bottle at their feet. Around them stand about a dozen men in white dhotis and shirts, several with hands folded or arms crossed, watching the offering. One man in a yellow-gold cloth with a shaved head and tilak stands among them.

Indoor photograph in a plain whitewashed hall with barred windows, a wall-mounted television cabinet at right and a folding chair. A figure with long dark hair wears an orange sleeveless robe and sits on a red cushion, holding a fruit. Facing them, a standing man at left in orange holds a silver tray of fruit. Around them, several men in white shirts and white dhotis stand with hands folded or clasped, one holding papers. A shaved-headed man in a yellow shawl and tilak stands barefoot at centre-left. An appearance-based a person cue is present: long dark hair and an orange robe on the seated figure, who receives the fruit offering; this is an unsure identification.

Indoor photograph in a small room with cream walls, a white curtained window and a tiled floor. A figure in an orange saffron cloth and a thick garland of yellow marigolds and dark red flowers stands at centre, receiving an offering from an older man in a white dhoti and shawl with an orange-bordered wrap and a beaded necklace. At left a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and a rudraksha-style necklace stands holding a dark bag. At right a person in an orange garment is partly visible. On the floor at lower centre is a steel tray of fruit including bananas, apples and mangoes. The setting suggests a puja or blessing ceremony.

A photograph of a white-walled hall with ceiling fans. In the foreground, a seated figure with long dark hair wears an orange robe and sits on a red cushion, facing away from the camera. To the left, a man in an orange dhoti holds a silver tray of fruit and offerings toward him. Behind and around them, about nine men stand in white shirts and dhotis or trousers, with one man in a yellow-and-gold dhoti and shawl wearing a tilak on his forehead. Baskets of fruit and a small bell-like object sit on the floor near the cushion. The seated figure's identity is not established from appearance; the orange-robed, long-haired figure is a sannyasi-style devotee in a ritual setting.
