Indoor photo of a formal meeting in a richly furnished room. A bearded man in a pale lilac robe sits on an ornate gold-framed sofa with cushions, his bare feet resting on a small green and white patterned rug, holding a book or folder. Facing him, a younger man in a saffron-orange robe and matching turban sits in a woven cane chair, hands folded. Behind them stands a carved wooden murti of a deity with a flower garland, a trident, and a framed painting of a multi-headed deity. Several attendants in orange and white stand near, one holding a red shopping bag, and a photographer with a camera stands at left. A carved wooden screen and a metal urn appear at right, and the cane chair and tabletop hold books and a small offering.

A seated man with a long white beard and pink-purple robe sits in an ornate gold-carved chair on the right, holding a small book, with bare feet on a green-and-white rangoli-style mat. Facing him on a rattan chair is a man with dark hair and an orange-yellow shawl and cloth wrap, holding a paper gift bag. Behind them stands a cameraman filming, and a man in orange stands beside a carved wooden deity murti of a figure on a bull or animal mount, garlanded with flowers and holding a trident. A framed painting of a multi-armed deity with a snake hood hangs on the wall. Two seated devotees in orange garments are in the foreground.

Indoor room with wood-panelled walls, cream sofa and a green patterned rug. A bald man in saffron robes sits in a carved wooden chair with red upholstery at right, hands clasped, with flowers beside him. Two women in saffron with saffron head wraps sit on the sofa; one bends forward with hands pressed together. A man in white dhoti and shirt bows at left, and three men in saffron and rust-coloured robes stand in the background. A framed portrait of a bald saffron-clad figure hangs on the wall, and a painted deity face appears above the seated man. A television and a small table with a silver tray are at left.

A photograph inside a room with framed deity paintings on the walls and a golden throne at right. A man in orange-red robes with a long wrapped turban and long swept-back hair sits on a leopard-print seat, holding his hands together, with a brass bull figure and a tray of fruit in front of him. To the left, an older man in white with an orange shawl holds open a booklet while a man in white in a suit and glasses stands at the edge. Behind them, a priest in orange with a rudraksha mala stands beside a shirtless attendant wearing white and gold beads. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the orange robes, ornate turban and long hair; a sign-free scene of ashram hospitality.
