A photograph of a seated man on a zebra-striped throne before a deep red velvet curtain, wearing a white embroidered kurta and white dhoti with a gold-trimmed collar, long wavy dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead. Two men in orange robes with maroon borders kneel beside him on an ornate red and beige carpet: the man on the left holds a gold tray of sweets, while the bald man on the right in white clothes and an orange shawl touches the seated man's hand. A microphone stand and a water bottle sit at the side.

A man with long dark hair, a bare upper torso and an orange and red shawl sits on an ornate gold throne carved with birds and foliage, extending his hand to a young girl in a white dress with a gold-edged border and a thin gold trim. The girl reaches out with both hands, a long plait down her back. A white box of sweets is held at the lower left by an unseen hand. Behind, two more people in white and an orange-robed attendant stand near dark red drapes and a patterned banner. The scene appears to be a blessing of sweets at a formal gathering.

Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne against a blue draped backdrop, wearing orange robes with long swept-back hair, a small red forehead mark and a shawl-like orange garment; the figure's identity is uncertain from appearance. A man in white clothes and a white shirt kneels on a patterned carpet with his forehead bowed to the throne's footstool, a rudraksha mala hanging from his neck. A woman in white trousers and an orange shawl stands at right, holding a ring-like object toward the seated figure's hands. A vase of orange lilies and a small bottle sit on a white table at left.

A photograph of a stage setting with a seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair, reclining on white cushions and a white bolster, while a woman in a white sari with a gold border offers a red box and a plate toward him. A second person in orange robes kneels in front, holding a red box. A vase of red and white flowers and a water bottle sit on a white table in front of a large orange-and-leopard print backdrop.

Photograph of a ceremonial event on a stage with a red-and-pink backdrop showing carved temple architecture. A man with long swept-back hair, wearing an orange robe over a red garment, sits on an ornate gold throne with a garland of yellow and purple flowers. He gestures with one hand while a woman in a white sari with gold border and an orange shawl stands beside the throne, and a woman in a white sari with gold border stands at right. On the left, a man in white with a yellow scarf and rudraksha mala stands beside an older woman in a teal blouse and white sari wearing a lanyard. A man in a white shirt and black trousers with a lanyard stands at centre, and a gold footstool with a red cushion sits in front of the throne. Fruit is placed on a tray before the seated figure. Red carpet covers the floor.

A man in a flowing orange-saffron robe sits smiling on a cream-upholstered armchair with a round white cushion, long dark hair swept back, a red forehead mark visible. Before him stands a woman in a white sari with a dark plaited ponytail and a black beaded necklace, her hands pressed together in greeting. Behind them hangs a deep maroon velvet curtain, and a fruit plate sits on a white side table at left. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man in saffron robes, long swept-back hair and a central dot on the forehead, receiving a devotee in white during a meeting.

A photograph of a tented satsang hall where a man in long, swept-back dark hair and orange clothing sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-form arm supports and a red cushion, speaking into a microphone while extending his hand toward a woman in white. Around him seated devotees wear orange and white garments, and a standing man in white with a rudraksha-style mala and a name badge reaches forward. Two figures in orange, including a bearded man, sit on red cushions at right. Books and a small decorative box rest on the throne's base. Relevant cues: the seated speaker shows long swept-back hair and orange clothing with a gold throne, consistent with a person candidate.

A photograph taken indoors in a wood-panelled hall with brown walls and a wooden floor. A man with long dark hair and a flowing orange robe sits on a zebra-striped cushioned seat, one hand raised in a gesture while he speaks. A tiger-striped mat lies on the floor before him. A kneeling woman in white clothes with a braid leans toward him with her palms pressed together. Behind them a second man in an orange robe points with one arm, and an orange cloth is draped over a wooden cabinet. A carved gold throne with a trident-like finial stands at right, and a microphone stand is visible on the far right.
