A man wearing a pink polo shirt and a blue surgical mask stands at a marble counter, extending his hand toward a life-size cutout portrait of a smiling figure in a red-orange turban and saffron robes, with a red bindi and a large garland of red and white flowers around the neck. Scattered white jasmine flowers lie on the counter in front of the portrait, and a black plastic bag and a large aluminium pot sit nearby against a brick-tiled wall. The portrait is a printed depiction, not a person, and no readable caption is visible. One physical person is present.

A woman in an orange sari with her hair in a bun stands at left, holding a brass oil lamp (aarti) in one hand and offering flowers with the other toward a seated figure. The seated figure is a life-size statue or portrait-like depiction wearing a red-orange turban, a red-orange shawl, and layered yellow and white flower garlands, seated on a pink and gold cloth-draped platform. In front is a pink cloth-covered offering with a coconut-like fruit decorated with marigolds and green leaves, and a brass plate with a lit oil lamp, a small bell-like vessel and a spoon. Behind is a black Shivalinga on a gold-trimmed pillared hall with ornate golden columns and trees beyond. This is a temple-hall puja scene; the seated figure appears to be a statue or depiction rather than a living person.

Indoor shrine display in a room with yellow-draped tables. Centre-left, a life-size cutout of a smiling man in a red turban and red robes sits cross-legged with palms pressed together in namaste, wearing a thick garland of red and white flowers and beads. Behind it, a framed photograph shows a man in orange robes and a long white bead necklace raising one hand in blessing before a banyan tree. A brown cloth bundle and a glass vase sit on the yellow table, with a small framed deity image and a white-and-green plastic flower arrangement to the right. A black-and-white framed photo and a painted blue deity poster appear in the background. No physical people are visible.

A young man in an orange kurta stands at right, holding a metal tray of food with several small bowls of rice and side dishes, facing a life-size cardboard cutout of a smiling bearded figure in a rust-brown turban with a jewelled ornament and a green and pink flower garland. The cutout is draped in a red and gold brocade shawl and sits on a red and gold cloth. Two framed devotional prints hang on the cream wall: a goddess seated on a lotus at left and a deity print at right.

A photograph of a life-size cutout depiction of a smiling figure seated in a shrine niche, wearing a red-maroon turban with a yellow flower on top, red-maroon robes, and a red-and-orange rudraksha mala, with a long white and orange flower garland draped over the shoulders. Its right hand is raised in blessing and the left hand is raised beside it. Yellow marigolds are placed on a golden throne base with gilded carved panels, a peacock feather stands behind, and a small framed picture of a deity assembly sits at lower left. The wall is dark wood with a lamp-like niche at left. A timestamp at lower right reads Chennai Oct 1, 2024 05:33:43.

A large printed cutout portrait of a smiling man in a red turban and red-orange robes sits cross-legged on a red brocade cushion, hands raised in blessing, garlanded with pink and yellow flowers and a brown rudraksha-style mala. In front, a gold kalasha-like vessel is decorated with yellow marigolds, red roses and pink blossoms. Lit brass oil lamps, a white bowl, a clay pot and a leaf sit on a woven mat, with a gold ornate chair at left and a brass lamp at right. Because the figure is a printed portrait, no physical person is present. Swamiji (probable) appears only as a printed depiction in a turban and robes with garlands and a mala.
