A seated man with long dark hair piled high on his head, wearing a maroon-red garment, a multi-strand red and white flower garland, a gold necklace and gold armbands, sits on a red cushioned throne with gold carvings at a ceremonial dais. Behind him, a large floral backdrop of yellow, red and white flowers frames the scene. To his left stands a golden-framed deity murti in blue and gold robes with a red turban, flanked by two saffron-orange pennants with red emblems. Dozens of devotees sit on the floor in the foreground, many women in cream, yellow and green saris with flowers in their hair, and men in white. Swamiji (probable) appears as the seated central figure on the throne, based on his long swept-back hair, gold ornaments and maroon ceremonial clothing.

A seated man in an orange-saffron robe and a white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands folded in his lap, in a temple-style hall. Behind him are large garlands of yellow, red and green flowers around two silver deity murtis under gold crowns. To the right stands another garlanded murti, and a gold lion figure sits at the throne's side. Around the throne, a group of about ten people in white dhotis and saris sit on a mat, some with white and orange shawls, a few wearing rudraksha or bead necklaces. A microphone stands on the left, a brass bell lies on the floor, and a black electric fan is at the edge. The figure on the throne has long dark hair and distinctive orange and garland adornments with a throne presentation, and appears to be a person, seated in a role of teacher giving satsang.

Behind the chair is a red velvet curtain, a carved wooden pillar, and a gold ornate chair or throne. Garlands of yellow, orange and purple flowers hang on the left wall.

Devotees sit on the floor in rows facing a raised dais in an indoor hall. A seated figure in an orange robe occupies a brown carved chair at the centre, with a standing attendant in white beside it. Behind the chair is a large floral arrangement of red, orange and white flowers framing a gold-edged decorative backdrop, and a standing deity murti with a gold crown and a trident stands at the left against white draped fabric. Many devotees wear white, orange and red garments, and women have hair in braids and buns. Potted plants sit at the right near the front of the dais, and a fan and speakers are visible at the edges.

A seated man in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with red, yellow and green flower garlands, with a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. Before him on a patterned rug, a shaved-headed young man in orange cloth with white tilak sits among devotees, and a shaved-headed figure with a white forehead band kneels at the front. Seated devotees in white and orange cloth, including a woman in cream sari, fill the foreground and a man with rudraksha mala and tilak sits at right beside brass vessels, flowers and offerings. Air coolers and a standing air conditioner stand against a cream wall. The throned figure's appearance is consistent with the page's identification, but the cues are limited to saffron clothing and a garlanded throne.
