In the centre, a smiling young man in orange robes with a gold necklace and a red-and-white forehead mark hands a small book to a bearded older man in an orange turban and orange robe, who is seated and reaching for it.

Indoor photo of a satsang-style gathering with a man in a white kurta-style garment at left handing books to a seated person. The seated figure on the right wears an orange-brown robe, bare upper arm with copper bangles, rudraksha beads, and a dark hairstyle with an ear piece, and holds a book in both hands. Behind, a figure in orange robes and beaded necklaces sits before a large gold throne with a lion-shaped armrest. Other devotees in orange and a man in a checked shirt stand nearby, and red cushions and maroon curtains frame the room. The seated figure in orange on the throne shows distinctive long hair and rudraksha beads, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.

A man in orange with glasses and a gold chain sits centre. Several people are visible.

A seated person in an orange-saffron garment with a gold-bead necklace receives a framed book or booklet from a standing man in white dhoti-style clothing with an orange-and-white shawl and a rudraksha mala. A bald person in orange is at the lower left, a man in light shirt at right, and a hand holding a mala at upper right. Behind them a dark red cushion rests on a cream bed against a red draped curtain. A small paper or card lies on the bed. The a person candidate is not clearly established from appearance, so no identification is made.

Indoor photo in a simple room with lilac walls and a red patterned curtain. A man in a saffron dhoti with gold border and a gold necklace, with a tilak on his forehead, smiles as he offers a small plate of food to a seated monk in an orange robe and orange head wrap, who receives it with both hands. Behind them, two more monks in orange sit on a sofa, one smiling and wearing glasses; a table with steel plates of food and small steel containers stands nearby. A partially visible person in orange stands at the left edge.

A photograph of a seated devotional gathering in an ornate room with gold-leaf thrones. In the foreground, a man in saffron robes with a bearded face and tilak on his forehead sits on a red-cushioned gold throne, holding a book or palm-leaf document. Beside him, a man in dark maroon robes with a long rudraksha-style mala and a leopard-print cushion extends his hand toward the seated man. Behind them, a bald man in glasses in maroon and a man in white dhoti with a garland stand near a framed painted panel. A man in saffron robes with a garland stands in the background. A gold kalasha-style vessel and books sit on a low table in front. Several people are visible in the background wearing saffron and white.

A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushion, speaking into a standing microphone and smiling. Before him, a kneeling devotee in a white top with long curly dark hair offers a small book with a photo on its cover, while a pearl-like mala rests in the other hand. Two saffron-robed attendants stand at left, one holding a sheet of paper and reading. Stacks of books lie on the carpet and a golden tray of fruit sits nearby, with yellow and maroon draped cloth behind. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has swept-back dark hair, saffron robes and a golden throne setting, which are the appearance cues for the throne-seated speaker.
