A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a carved gold backrest, tiger-skin draped seat and lion-head armrests. The seated figure wears a red-maroon turban with a small emblem, a maroon-red robe with a gold-striped border and a dense brown rudraksha-style mala, with a red bindi. Hanging brass bells and oil lamps frame the throne under a golden canopy. Three people sit on the lower steps in the foreground: a man in white on the left, a man in white with a bare head in the centre and a woman in orange sari on the right.

A photograph of a smiling figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-skin covered seat and golden lion-head armrests, set against a purple-blue wall. The seated person wears a dark red turban with small decorative ornaments, a red-saffron robe with gold border and a rudraksha-style bead garland, and has white tilak marks on the forehead. Hanging brass bells and small oil lamps surround the throne. In the foreground, a bald man in a white shirt and white dhoti sits with his back to the camera, and a woman in an orange sari sits at the right edge, with another person partly visible at the left. The throne and attire suggest the person is Swamiji (probable), with cues being the ornate turban, saffron-red robes, ornate throne and bead garland.

A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-skin cloth draped over the seat and gilded lion-head armrests. He wears a rust-red and saffron wrap, a multi-strand rudraksha mala with gold beads, gold bangles, and a red bindi with white markings on his forehead. Seated before the throne at the lower left and right are devotees in orange and saffron robes, one with shaved head and palms pressed together in namaskar. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides, and brass bells hang from chains above. The gold throne backdrop has elaborate repoussé floral and mythical carving. The setting looks like a satsang or darshan hall.

A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved arched back, draped with a tiger-skin cloth. He wears a rust-orange robe with a gold border, a long multi-strand rudraksha mala and a heavy gold bead necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a red bindi on his forehead, with hands folded in his lap. Gold hanging lamps and bells hang beside the throne. In the lower foreground, three people in white ritual clothing with white markings on their arms sit before a gold pedestal with flower offerings, and a figure in brown robes with a red shawl kneels or bows at the front. Probable Swamiji (appearance-based candidate, seated on throne, with long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha mala and gold necklace). Four physical people are visible.

A figure seated on an ornate gold throne with tiger-skin cushions wears a red-brown turban with a small emblem, a red-brown robe with a gold border, and a long green-and-brown beaded garland; he raises one hand in blessing and holds a trident-shaped staff. Below, a man in white clothes holds up a lit oil lamp, and a woman in an orange sari sits to the right with offerings. In the foreground, a row of lit oil lamps blurs past a seated devotee in orange-red robes. Red carpet covers the floor.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a tiger-striped cushion, set against a dark slate wall hung with brass oil lamps and bells. The central figure wears a red-orange turban with a small emblem, a red-orange robe, a rudraksha mala, a pink and white flower garland, and bangles, with a red tilak on the forehead. Three people are visible from behind or the side in the foreground: a woman in a teal and purple sari with long dark hair, a woman in an orange robe, and a man in white clothing. A woman in red stands at the left edge. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, rudraksha, garland and ornate seat, though the appearance is not fully confirmed.
