A photograph of a flower-decorated canopy shrine under a thatched roof. Arches of white, yellow, red and pink garlands frame a central framed portrait of a seated man in white robes and a saffron-toned shawl, on a golden throne with a red cushion against a blue backdrop. The portrait is a printed image, not a physical person. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and the base is covered with scattered red and pink petals and rose garlands. A partially visible person in white clothing stands at the right edge. Cues in the portrait are not distinctive enough to confirm the identity of the depicted figure.

A photograph of a decorated altar space arranged with pink and yellow flower garlands forming an arched backdrop, with the floor covered in pink rose petals. Centered is a printed portrait of a long-haired figure in white and gold robes seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, against a blue background. Brass oil lamps flank the altar on both sides, and white cloth draping frames the scene. No physical people are visible in the frame. The printed portrait is a depiction, and the figure's appearance is not sufficiently distinctive to confirm identity, so this is a depiction of an unidentified seated figure.

A photograph of a flower-decorated altar or palanquin-style canopy covered in pink and red rose petals and garlands of white jasmine, yellow and red flowers, with green leaves. At the centre hangs a framed portrait of a long-haired figure seated on an ornate golden throne against a blue background, wearing white and gold robes and a gold-coloured shawl, one hand raised. Brass oil lamps with lit wicks stand at the sides, and a young boy in a red checked shirt stands at the left edge. White cloth draping forms the backdrop. A portrait on a throne, not a physical person, is shown as the focal point of the altar.

A photograph of a floral shrine set up under a white tent. A large printed portrait of a figure seated on a gold throne is framed by arches of marigolds and roses in red, yellow and white garlands. The figure wears a white garment with a gold-bordered shawl and a long necklace. The ground in front is covered with red and pink petals, and brass oil lamps stand at the sides. Two young onlookers in checked and striped shirts stand at the left edge. The portrait is a printed image on a screen-like backdrop, not a physical person; no identity is asserted from appearance.

A photograph of a shrine set up in a hall. A large framed portrait on an easel shows a seated figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron shawl and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, sitting before a large twisted banyan-type tree trunk. The portrait is garlanded with pink, red and yellow flowers and rests on a white draped table. Brass oil lamps stand on either side of the table. In front, a white cloth is covered with yellow and pink flower petals arranged in a border with red and white blossoms and a red flower at the centre. A white railing and marble steps are in the background, and a bare foot of a person standing at the right edge is visible. No one is seated or performing an action in the frame. The portrait's figure is a depiction, identity unconfirmed by appearance alone.

A seated figure in white and gold ceremonial dress sits on a gold throne (peetha) at the centre of an elaborate floral stage decoration. The figure wears a gold crown, gold necklaces and a garland of marigolds and white flowers, hands pressed together in namaskar. The arch behind is densely decorated with white jasmine, yellow and orange marigolds, and red and green fabric panels in a checkered pattern. Two children in white stand at the left, one holding a long fan-like chamara whisk, another holding a decorated umbrella; a tall ornate umbrella with red fringe is at the right. Brass lamps and offerings in silver bowls and flower petals sit on the stage in front. A large framed portrait of a smiling young man hangs on the blue backdrop above. Probable Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated figure on the throne, seen with a gold crown, white and gold garments and garlands, consistent with a presentation ceremony.

A seated man with closed eyes and palms pressed together in anjali mudra sits on a richly decorated golden throne (peetha). He wears an ornate gold crown with a red tilak on his forehead, a gold necklace with beads, and a white garment. He is framed by heavy garlands of white jasmine and yellow and magenta marigolds, with a large gilded canopy with a gold finial and a gold arched backrest above him. A purple-and-white decorative border and a yellow-flower floral backdrop surround the throne.

A smiling person seated on an ornate golden throne in front of a large arrangement of yellow, purple, red and white marigold and chrysanthemum flowers. The person wears a pink turban with a green and gold ornament, a red bindi, a white and gold shawl over saffron-orange clothing, and a heavy gold necklace with red and green garlands. They hold bunches of pink and orange flowers wrapped in plastic, and the floor before the throne is covered with mixed purple and pink petals. A woven basket is visible at the left edge. The setting suggests a flower-decorated ceremonial reception or satsang.

A seated man in an ornate cream and white outfit with a matching turban sits on a throne-like seat decorated with white jasmine garlands and yellow marigold strands. Two golden lion-shaped finials flank the seat, and the figure's feet rest on yellow flowers. Behind him, a large framed portrait of a smiling man with long, swept-back hair fills the wall, surrounded by white daisies. A golden parasol-like canopy hung with white flower garlands sits above the seat, and red balloons are placed at the base. A printed portrait caption is not legible here. The seated man's identity cannot be established from appearance, so no name is attached to him.
