A photograph inside a marble-walled hall showing a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-adorned gold necklace, wearing a red-and-gold headband, seated on a red cushioned throne with gold carved armrest. Two men in white shirts and white dhotis stand before him; the foremost holds a long gold staff and the other holds a red-and-orange bundle with an orange ribbon, while a box rests on a low white stand. Another man in white stands at right with a rudraksha mala, and a person in orange robes is partly visible behind. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure include saffron clothing, a ceremonial gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, so this is a person in person seated in a throne-like seat receiving ceremonial items from attendants.

Indoor evening devotional scene under a corrugated roof with fluorescent lights and a green-edged wall. In the foreground, a woman in an orange-and-white flower garland and rust-coloured garment kneels with folded hands before a wooden tray of offerings, while a man in a white shirt and spectacles stands beside her with palms joined. Behind them, several men in saffron-orange robes and rudraksha or gold neckwear, some with shaved heads, stand around the scene, and a man in a white shirt stands at the left edge. The setting resembles a padapuja or darshan line, with devotees offering respect at the feet of a teacher.

A photograph at a tented outdoor event with white drapes and a green carpet. A seated figure on a gold-carved throne wears a red-orange turban and red-orange shawl, with a long garland of red and yellow flowers over his shoulders, a red-banded armlet, and a sacred ash mark on his forehead; he smiles broadly and holds a banana. A silver trident stands beside him. Standing nearby are a woman in a rust-red sari with a rudraksha mala and a bindi, smiling with hands folded, and a shaven-headed young man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at left, holding a folded cloth bundle with hands together in greeting. A laptop, monitors and cables sit on the floor at left, and a second man in white dhoti is partly visible behind them. Four people are visible.

A photograph inside a marble-walled hall of a man in a white shirt and white trousers with spectacles and a moustache reaching out to offer a small silver-coloured object to a seated figure. The seated figure wears an orange-red saffron garment, a long gold bead necklace with a pendant, a red floral headband and a sandalwood-marked forehead, and sits on a red-cushioned seat before an ornate gold throne with a sunburst back. Behind them a standing man in an orange-and-yellow robe with a gold bead necklace and a shaved head smiles, and a crowd of onlookers in white and blue crowds the frame. A hand with bracelets reaches in from the right. The figure appears to be a person by appearance, with long hair swept back, ornate gold necklace and saffron clothing, seated in an honoured position.

A photograph in an indoor hall with white walls and a ceiling fan. A central figure in saffron-orange robes, wearing a long white and red flower garland, a rudraksha-style necklace with gold pendants and a gold armlet, stands with hair tied up in a bun and a white tilak on the forehead. An elderly man in a white shirt and white dhoti bows with hands pressed together toward him, while an older man in a cream shirt smiles nearby. On the right, a bald man in an orange and gold shawl holds an orange cloth with a brass object. Several onlookers stand in the background. The appearance-based label is a person for the central saffron-robed, garlanded figure receiving the devotee's respect.

Indoor devotional scene in a plain yellow-walled room. A figure seated on a low bed or dais wears a maroon turban, maroon robe with gold border, a mala of white and red flowers and gold bangles, holding a silver trident and raising a hand to the face. A kneeling man in white shirt and dhoti holds a brass oil lamp with a flame. A young monk in orange robes and rudraksha beads sits nearby, with an older monk in orange behind. Standing devotees in white and a child in red look on, and a framed picture hangs on the wall. Probable Swamiji is the seated figure, with the turban, ornate gold-bordered maroon robe, flower garland and trident as appearance cues; this is a pada puja or darshan-style offering.
