A photograph of a stage at a satsang. A seated figure on a brown upholstered armchair with black trim wears orange robes, a long swept-back dark hair and beaded necklaces; the figure extends one arm toward an older man who leans forward, wearing an orange shawl over a brown vest and white dhoti, with bare feet, and reaches to take an offered object. Behind them, deity murtis in gold and silver garlands of orange, red and yellow flowers stand on an elevated altar, and a gilded throne-like chair is decorated with garlands. A microphone stand sits in front, with water bottles and fruit on the stage floor. a person seated on the brown armchair in orange robes, long hair and beaded necklaces, with an older devotee in white dhoti and orange shawl bowing to him.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala sits with palms pressed together in namaste on a brown upholstered throne with black carved armrests and gold-framed trim. Behind him, garlands of orange, yellow and red flowers hang over a framed picture and a golden deity murti setting. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt with a red shawl stands at left, also with palms joined in namaste, facing the seated figure. A microphone stands at right beside a fan.

A seated figure on a red and gold throne with a gold lion-headed armrest is being honoured by a devotee in orange. The seated person wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red garment, a gold-beaded necklace and a red-brown shawl, and rests a hand on the bowing devotee's head. The devotee in an orange shirt and orange cloth bends low at the chair. Behind them, women in white saris with rudraksha malas and orange shawls stand in a row near a gold-framed altar decorated with yellow and orange marigold garlands and a gold deity murti. Red carpet and maroon drapes complete the hall. A fruit tray and sweets sit at the base of the throne.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead, a rudraksha mala and a gold chain, sits on an ornate gold throne with a large gilded halo behind him and leopard-print cushions. He smiles and raises one hand in blessing. A man in a pale pink shirt and beige trousers, with an orange shawl over his shoulder, bends low and touches the seated man's feet in reverence. A gilded lion figure sits to the left, and a framed painting of a goddess with multiple arms hangs on the wall behind. a person is seated on the throne as the central figure, with cues of long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala.

A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe over a red top sits on an ornate gilded throne with red patterned cushions, a red bindi on the forehead and long dark hair. A man in a white t-shirt and a beaded necklace bends forward with his hands near the seated figure's lap, apparently in an act of reverence. Behind them are a green leafy backdrop and a floral arrangement of purple orchids, pink and white flowers. A Swamiji (probable) label applies based on the saffron robe, long swept-back hair, and the gilded throne setting, so the seated figure is marked as a probable in-person candidate.

A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklaces, wearing a rust-red wrap, sits on a gilded throne-like chair and extends his hand toward an older man. The older man wears black-rimmed glasses, a grey top and a maroon shawl and stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them stand young attendants in saffron and orange robes, one with a rudraksha mala, beside a gold kalasha-like altar draped in maroon cloth with gold garlands. Dimly lit with green plants in the background, it looks like a darshan moment.

A photo of a ceremonial moment on a golden throne decorated with red cushions and floral garlands. In the foreground a man with a shaved head and long dark hair bows forward wearing saffron-orange robes, a gold-embroidered waist belt, gold bangles and a long rudraksha mala, while an older man in a saffron-orange robe with a swept-back hair places a saffron-orange turban or cloth on the bowing man's head. Behind them a priest in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on the throne steps beside a multicoloured floral backdrop with red and purple flower garlands. The scene appears to be an honouring or blessing ceremony, possibly a pada puja.
