A standing man in a rust-orange sleeveless robe with a garland of yellow and red flowers around his neck faces a large ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion and red bolsters, pressing his palms together in prayer. Two silver staffs, one topped with a trident, stand beside him on a red curtained stage with a microphone on a stand to the right. A red and gold cushion and flower garland rest at the base of the throne. The throne is empty and he is greeting it reverently. The man's appearance (long wrapped hair, orange garment, garland) is consistent with a candidate for the a person, though his face is not clearly visible, so identity is uncertain.

A photograph of an ornate silver throne on a stage, flanked by two silver lion statues and topped with a carved arched backrest with spiked finials. The seat has a leopard-print cushion and a small red cloth rests on one armrest. In the foreground, a barefoot figure with long dreadlocked black hair stands with their back to the camera, wearing a red sleeveless top and red dhoti-style drapery with a dark belt, and holds a silver staff. A silver footstool and small silver stand sit before the throne on a patterned rug. The backdrop shows red-lit architectural arches. The throne is empty and the standing figure's back is turned, so no appearance-based identification is made.

A large ornate silver throne with carved floral and scrollwork backing stands on a platform, flanked by two silver lion sculptures and a leopard-print cushion on the seat. A small silver lectern or stand sits in front. On the right, a figure seen from behind wears a rust-red robe and has very long dark dreadlocked hair falling to the waist; the figure appears to be facing the throne, and no face is visible. Red stage lighting glows at the back of the dark stage.

On the right, a bare-chested man with a bundled dreadlock-style topknot, a rudraksha mala, and an orange-red shawl kneels or bows toward the throne with one palm raised. On the left edge, a man in orange-red robes with a rudraksha mala stands beside the throne, and another person in orange appears at the far right with a hand raised. The throne is empty, so no one is seated on it.

A smiling man in a maroon-red turban and red-orange shawl sits beside an ornate silver throne with heavily embossed floral and scrollwork carving and gilt finials. The seat cushion has a leopard-print covering. He wears a long gold bead necklace and a small mark on his forehead, and his bare shoulder is visible. Behind the throne a red stage backdrop and a blurred figure in red are visible. The appearance matches the a person cues of ornate red-orange clothing, a turban and gold necklace, though the face is partly turned and the image is cropped. The throne is a peetha seat with a leopard-skin cushion.

The figure wears a dark red garment with rudraksha beads, a white and red flower garland, gold bangles and rings. A dark rod or staff lies along the arm, and a silver ornate backdrop with a turquoise screen is behind. Only the forearm and hand are visible; no face is shown.

A photograph of a man in saffron-orange robes seated on an ornate silver throne with lion-head armrests and leopard-print cushions, in front of deep red curtains. He has long dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, layered rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, and his arms are extended outward while his bare feet rest on a small silver footstool. A microphone stand stands to his right, and a crystal chandelier hangs above.

A photograph of a man seated on an ornate silver throne with a canopy and carved lion figures, against red velvet drapes. He wears an orange-brown robe with gold trim, multiple rudraksha mala necklaces, a ceremonial gold necklace, and a vertical tilak mark on his forehead; long dark hair falls past his shoulders. He rests his hands on his lap with a leopard-print cushion behind him and red cushions beneath his feet. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure, presenting distinctive long hair, saffron-orange robes, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace while seated on the throne.
