A photograph on a stage set with red drapes and an ornate gold throne in the right foreground. A man seated on the throne wears a red-orange turban, a red-orange cloth, a long gold necklace and a gold bracelet, and has long swept-back hair; he holds an open printed booklet. Appearance-based candidate: a person, seated on the throne. A man in an orange shirt and cream dhoti kneels and bows his head at the foot of the throne. A woman in a green-bordered sari kneels in the lower right holding a printed booklet. Standing at left, a man in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha mala watches; a shaved-headed man in an orange-and-gold dhoti and rudraksha mala stands nearby; a camera operator with a tripod films in the background. A golden staff stands beside the throne, and a gold-ornamented figure is visible at upper right. Total physical people visible: about 9.

A ceremonial padapuja scene in front of an ornate gold throne with a carved cobra-hood backrest and a red cushion. A bearded man in saffron/orange robes with a gold necklace, long hair, and armbands sits on the throne, holding a red fruit and reaching toward a white-haired man in a white dhoti who kneels and bows with his head touching the throne's foot area. Behind them, a shirtless man with a rudraksha mala and a man in white ritual cloth attend; a standing man in a white and yellow-bordered dhoti and another in a white shirt observe. A red curtain, golden pillar carvings, and a large painted deity image of a seated figure fill the background, and a woman in purple sits at the right edge. Swamiji is probable in the seated throne figure, whose saffron robes, gold necklace, and long hair match his presentation; the kneeling devotee is a devotee.

A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe with a brown rudraksha-style mala draped over his shoulders sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a golden back panel and a gold staff beside him. He has a red bindi and a smile, and his bare feet rest on the red cushion. In front of him, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with gold border kneels with palms joined in namaskara. Behind the throne, two women in rust-red and white saris wear beaded necklaces and stand on a red carpet, one holding a microphone, with green foliage behind. The scene resembles a formal darshan or padapuja setting. Appearance-based cues on the seated man (saffron robe, rudraksha mala, ceremonial throne) are present, but the image is not clear enough to confirm identity, so the seated man is described by role.

A photograph of a seated man in a red-brown robe with a long garland of gold-coloured beads and a white flower, a red tilak on his forehead, and gold earrings, sitting before a large gold dome-shaped backdrop on a red-cushioned throne. Around him, several shirtless men in orange cloth draped over the shoulder and a white dhoti kneel and bend close, one with a white thread across his back and another with white ash markings on the chest and arms, appearing to perform a ritual service. The setting is a ceremonial hall with a pale draped wall behind.

A ceremonial scene in a temple-like hall. A seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red-maroon dhoti-style garment and a gold-beaded necklace and rudraksha mala, with a red tilak on his forehead and a full dark beard, smiles while a kneeling man in white shirt and white dhoti with a red-orange cloth draped over his shoulder bows at his feet. Standing attendants in white shirts and white dhotis with gold-bordered cloth stand around, one bare-chested holding a ceremonial staff with rudraksha beads. A woman in a maroon sari with long braided hair stands at the right edge.

A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a gold cobra-hood backrest, wearing saffron-orange robes, a rudraksha mala, and a gold necklace, raising one hand in blessing while holding a fruit. A man in a blue checked shirt kneels at his feet, offering. Two attendants stand to the left: one in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds an orange cloth bundle, another in white dhoti with an orange border, bare-chested, wears a long rudraksha mala and stands beside a golden trident. A woman in white sari sits at right holding a red fruit. Red carpet, red curtains and a gold pillar with carved figures form the setting, with a painted deity mural behind the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha malas and gold ornaments on a throne.
