A photograph of an indoor event at night. In the centre, a standing figure in a saffron-orange robe with long, swept-back dark hair and a rudraksha mala rests one hand on the shoulder of a life-size seated figure in a white dhoti and shawl with gold trim, a red bindi, and a raised right palm in a blessing gesture. The seated figure is a statue or effigy, not a living person. On the left, a man in white holds a tall ornate banner pole with a yellow and red fringe. Behind them, a row of people in white and cream clothing stands with hands folded, and a few more are visible at the right edge. Several people in the background appear to be physical attendees. The setting is dim with plain concrete walls. Swamiji (probable) appears as the standing figure in orange, based on long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a rudraksha mala.

A painter's hand holding a thin brush touches up a large painted cutout head of a man with long dark hair swept back, a red bindi-like tilak mark on the forehead and a faint smile. The painted face has brown eyes, dark brows and a muted pink-brown skin tone. A person in a white garment and dark sleeve is visible at the bottom left. Behind is a white painted wall, a red-framed doorway edge at right, and a framed photo of a person in patterned clothing at left.

A marble statue of a seated guru figure wearing a white turban and draped white garment, adorned with a jasmine garland, sits on a white and black marble pedestal inside a plain room. A woman in a white sari with gold border pours liquid from a metal vessel over the statue's head as an abhishekam. A young man in white stands behind her, and another man in white stands at the right edge. A framed ornate red and gold decorative plaque hangs on the wall behind them. The statue is a depiction, not a living person.

A dimly lit hall where a tall man with long, swept-back dark hair and an orange saffron wrap, with a rudraksha mala across his chest, stands at right with his hand on his hip, looking down at a life-size white statue. The statue is a seated figure in white dhoti and shawl with gold trim, a red tilak on the forehead and a raised palm. A golden ceremonial umbrella with green embroidery stands at left, and several people in white and orange clothing stand in the background.

A ritual scene inside a hall with a wooden staircase and garlanded railings. In the foreground, a golden-brown statue of a shaved-headed sage wearing a rudraksha-style bead necklace and red shawl faces right. Behind it, other statues in orange and red garments and ornaments stand beside a deity murti with a crown. On the right, a man in an orange-red dhoti and shawl with yellow and red flower garlands, gold armband and gold earring holds a long wooden stick toward the statues, while another man in white dhoti and shirt holds a tray. Several seated devotees in white clothes watch from the right, and a figure in white stands at the centre, consistent with a murti consecration ritual.

A photograph of a man with long, swept-back dark hair in a rust-orange garment kneeling beside a seated white marble statue of a sage. The statue wears a white turban, a draped white shawl and a white robe, with its right hand raised in abhaya mudra. The man rests his right hand on the statue's shoulder, and his expression is gentle and focused. The setting is dimly lit with warm spotlights, and dark background stone and straw-like materials are visible.
