A seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest before maroon velvet drapes, wearing an orange robe, rudraksha-style beads, a gold necklace and a long garland of white flowers with green, red and yellow ribbon accents. Men in white dhotis and orange shawls stand around the throne, one embracing the seated figure with an arm around the shoulder while another holds a golden trident staff at left. A cameraman in white raises a camera at upper right. A gold ceremonial staff with a trident finial stands at left beside a man in white holding a red-and-gold object. The figure has a white forehead marking and appears to be the a person, appearance-based probable.

A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe sits on a gold-carved throne in front of a deep maroon velvet curtain. A long garland of white flowers with multicoloured bands hangs over the robe, with a bouquet of green leaves and yellow flowers held in the lap. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts crowd around, one raising a decorated ceremonial crown or headpiece with blue, purple and white stones onto the seated figure's head, while others reach in to steady it. A man at left smiles and wears a red tilak on his forehead; a bald man in white stands behind. The setting appears to be a formal satsang or coronation-style ceremony.

A seated figure in an orange-brown robe sits on a red-cushioned golden throne in front of maroon drapes. A long garland of white flowers and multicoloured ribbons hangs from the figure's neck, and a decorated crown-like ornament with blue and white motifs is being placed on or raised above the head. Several men in white dhotis and white shirts surround the throne, some wearing orange shawls. One man in white, bald-headed, reaches forward with a ritual gesture. Another man holds a green leafy bundle near the throne's base, and a cameraman in the right corner films. The scene appears to be a coronation or honouring ceremony.

Photograph of a ceremonial honouring inside a decorated pavilion. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron garment, a rudraksha-style mala, a gold necklace and a red-and-white floral garland, and sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like armrests. Behind him a large arrangement of multicoloured flowers in purple, yellow, red and white decorates a gilded shrine structure with a golden deity murti. In front, a man in a white shirt and white trousers folds his hands in namaskaram, while a man in a white dhoti and a standing devotee with a rudraksha mala press their palms together nearby. A red tray with flowers rests at the throne's right side, and red carpeting covers the floor.

Three men in white attire surround him: one at left with rudraksha beads, one at upper right placing a floral garland with green leaves on the figure's head, and one at lower right in a white shirt. Pink and white flower garlands drape across the figure's shoulders and the throne, with a green-and-white floral backdrop behind.

Photograph of a ceremonial blessing in a hall with red velvet curtains and a gold-framed deity murti decorated with multicolour garlands. A seated figure in an orange-red turban, saffron-orange robe, gold bangles and a red-and-white flower garland places a hand on the head of a kneeling older man in white with an orange garland. A woman in white with a rudraksha mala stands nearby with hands in namaste, and other women in white and cream saris stand behind. A brass kalasha and a tray of fruit sit in the foreground, and the seat is covered in a red zebra-print cushion with a floral-garlanded backrest. Flower garlands drape the seat and the murti.
