A photograph of a devotional greeting on a golden throne. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair wears orange saffron robes, a pink and white floral garland, and gold ceremonial necklaces; this appearance matches Swamiji (probable) on the page, cued by his long hair, saffron clothing, garland and gold necklaces. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward to touch his head to the seated figure's hands, with a hand resting on the seated figure's knee. Behind them a shaven-headed monk in orange robes with an orange head cloth stands, and at left a woman in white with a yellow shawl watches. Garlands of orange, red and yellow flowers hang on a golden backdrop with ornate carved gold panels.

A photograph in a small orange-walled room shows a long-haired man in an orange robe and a red-and-white flower garland with gold beads leaning forward to place his hand on the head of a seated devotee in white. Another man in white with a yellow sash kneels beside them holding an open orange wooden box containing items, while a standing man in white at left presses his palms together in greeting. An orange cloth-draped chair stands behind, and a small framed photo hangs on the wall above.

A photograph of a padapuja-style honouring in an indoor hall. A seated man in an orange robe and a long white-and-red flower garland, with a gold chain and beads, smiles and gestures with his right hand from a white upholstered throne-like seat with a grey cushion. Kneeling at his feet on the floor, an older man in a white shirt and mundu with a rudraksha mala washes or touches the feet over a brass plate. Behind, a standing man in white kurta with an orange shawl and a red-and-white beaded mala stands with hands clasped. A standing fan and a maroon curtain are behind them.

A photograph of a padapuja at a temple setting. A long-haired figure in orange robes and a long beaded necklace sits on an orange-draped throne-like seat with a bowl of fruit and flowers beside him. A devotee in white kneels and offers worship to the seated figure's feet, which rest on a red cloth and a garland of yellow and white flowers. Behind them, several men in white dhotis and orange shawls stand with hands folded, some wearing flower garlands, and a cameraman in white stands at the left edge. Orange cloth covers the floor.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red and black tiger-striped cushions, hands pressed together in namaste, wearing orange robes, a red-and-white garland and a rudraksha mala. A kneeling man in white clothes washes or offers water over the seated figure's feet from a silver puja plate on a red cloth, beside a woman in a cream sari and a small child in orange. Two attendants in orange robes stand at right, one holding a folded paper. On the left table are stacked books, fruit in a basket, a water bottle and a clock. This is a padapuja foot-worship scene, with the seated figure matching the a person cues of long hair, orange robes and garlands.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushioning, smiling and gesturing with both hands, wearing saffron/orange robes, a long beaded necklace of gold and beads, and with long dark hair swept back. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne; the appearance cues are long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklace. In front, a devotee in white ritual clothes with an orange shawl kneels low on a white cloth-covered platform, bowing over the throne's footrest in a padapuja-style gesture. Two more men in white sit to the left, and a microphone stand and a pedestal fan stand nearby. A red and white backdrop and a garland hang behind.

A photograph of three men in a hall with beige flooring and wooden cabinets. A man seated on a zebra-striped throne-like chair wears an orange robe over red clothing, is barefoot, and gestures while speaking into a microphone on a stand; flowers sit on a side table. Before him, a bald man in a white kurta and orange shawl kneels on a red patterned rug, holding an orange cloth, while a younger man in orange robes kneels nearby listening. Dark curtains hang behind. The seated man has long dark hair and distinctive orange-and-red robes, but the appearance is not clearly established, so identity is uncertain.

A photograph taken on a wooden stage with brown wall panels. A woman with long dark wavy hair and a red bindi sits smiling in a zebra-striped chair beneath an ornate golden throne with a trident motif, wearing an orange robe. In front of her a devotee in orange and maroon kneels with forehead to a striped cushion, while a second person in orange sits behind a metal bowl and tray of offerings near a cardboard box and a blue Mist Air tower fan. A microphone stand stands at the right edge.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long rudraksha mala and long swept-back hair sits smiling on an ornate orange upholstered throne-like chair, his bare feet being touched by a man in a white shirt and jeans who bends forward at the front. Behind the throne stands a second man in orange robes with a wristwatch, and a red velvet curtain forms the backdrop. A small side table holds a tray with apples, flower petals and a water bottle, and a microphone stand is at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala match the appearance cues, and the scene shows a devotee performing padapuja.
