A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with a long rudraksha-style beaded mala sits in a gold ornate throne with red cushions at the centre of a temple-style stage. Behind him a large backdrop shows a deity murti decorated with flower garlands, and carved stone pillars frame the scene. Seven people sit on the floor in front, several with hands folded in anjali. Two women in white and yellow sarees and a man in white dhoti sit near the throne; a metal bowl and brass lamps are on the floor, and a white-clad man in front shows a shaved head.

A seated man in an orange-saffron robe sits on a red cushioned throne in front of a large forest backdrop printed with banyan trees and an ornate stone temple arch. He presses his palms together in anjali, wearing a gold necklace. Brass lamps flank the throne. At the lower right, a bald man in an orange robe kneels with hands folded, and at the lower left a woman in a white sari kneels with hands folded on a red mat. The setting is a dhyanapeetham-style satsang hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robe, gold necklace and a throne seat.

A photograph of a seated figure on a red-cushioned throne in front of a decorated shrine with garlands and a painted backdrop of large banyan trees. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron robe, a gold necklace and long dark hair, with hands pressed together in namaste. Brass oil lamps stand on either side of the dais. A woman in white garments kneels at left with hands folded in prayer, and a shaven-headed man in orange robes kneels at right, also in namaste. Red floral-patterned cushions cover the steps before the throne. The seated figure may be Swamiji (probable) based on the long hair, saffron robe and ornate gold necklace, shown seated on a throne as a ceremonial presider.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a rudraksha-style necklace, hands pressed in namaste, on a gold and red ornate throne before a painted temple-style backdrop with carved pillars, rearing horse-headed motifs and a painted elephant. A dark-clad person in the foreground holds a lit oil lamp, and two people in white clothes sit on either side of the stage with hands joined. Red and pink flower arrangements flank the throne, with brass lamps on the stage. The orange-robed figure's appearance is consistent with the a person cues of ornate saffron clothing and a rudraksha necklace, though the page does not mention him at this event.

A photograph of a stage event with a large backdrop depicting a temple with painted deity figures and garlands. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, hands joined in front of the chest. Five devotees in white and cream sarees and dhotis kneel on an orange cloth before the throne with hands folded in prayer, one in a white dhoti with his back to the camera. A man in orange on the far left holds a microphone, and blue-purple cloths and small brass lamps lie on the stage. Dark blue curtains frame the scene.

A photograph of a seated man in an orange saffron robe with a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, sitting on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat and hands folded in front of him. He has long dark hair. Four women are visible in the foreground: one on the left in white and pink, one with long light hair in a white sari with a red border, one in white with a yellow shawl, and one on the right in white with a light green shawl, all with hands in anjali or seated in devotion.

A seated figure in orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions in front of a large painted temple backdrop with pillars and deity figures. Devotees in white and cream clothes sit on the floor with hands joined in namaskar, some wearing green and yellow shawls. Brass plates with fruit and offerings rest on a rug before the throne. The scene resembles a satsang or darshan setting. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing with distinctive rudraksha adornments, which is consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable).

A photograph of a bare hall with a wooden floor and a large printed backdrop of a stone temple gateway framed by green trees. On a raised red-draped dais in front of the backdrop sits a figure in an orange robe with long dark hair and an orange shawl, flanked by two brass lamps. A man in white dhoti and shirt kneels at the dais steps with hands raised toward the seated figure. To the left, several women in saris, one in blue and one in yellow, sit on red-and-white striped mats watching. On the right, a kneeling man in white and two standing men in white shirts and dhotis attend. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and orange robes, a person cue, though the appearance is not fully certain.

A stage event in a large hall. A man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne at centre, with a garlanded deity backdrop behind him. In front of the stage, about ten people in white and yellow saris and white dhotis sit on an orange mat, some holding books or small items, while a young priest in white with a shaved head and horizontal tilak on the left speaks into a microphone. A large orange-draped table and a potted decoration sit at the right of the stage. The seated figure in orange could be a person, wearing saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and a sitting-throne position, though his face is too small to confirm; the other figures are devotees and priests.
