A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing an orange-saffron robe, a multicolour flower garland with white blooms, a rudraksha mala, gold armlets and a tilak on the forehead, smiling. A silver trident stands to the right. Two people in white clothes with orange shawls sit beside the throne, and two younger attendees in orange sit in the foreground, one with a silver tray and a brass bowl. A backdrop shows a historical city image and a painted figure holding a lamp against fiery orange tones. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji, identified by long swept-back hair, a ceremonial garland, saffron robe and rudraksha mala, seated in a central role.2014-05-17A photo of a satsang on a raised stage. A man with a long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a rudraksha mala and a flower garland of white, yellow and purple blossoms sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, gesturing with one hand toward a woman. The man has a crown-like headdress look absent; his appearance matches Swamiji (probable) by long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland. A silver trident stands beside the throne and a gold parasol hangs at the top left. A woman in a white top with an orange shawl holds a silver tray before him, and a man in white sits at the left edge.

Several seated people in orange and white are visible at the bottom.2014-05-17Photo of a ceremonial event in a hall. A figure with a shaved-looking head and a tilak mark sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing orange-saffron robes and a long multicolour flower garland with rudraksha beads, and holds hands loosely in lap.

The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person but is not clearly distinctive, so identity is uncertain.
