A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and a red-brown wrap with dark patterned cloth, smiling and touching the forehead of a kneeling man in white clothes with a red-patterned shawl and folded hands in namaskar. Behind them stands a large deity murti adorned with gold necklaces and garlands, with green foliage, orange flowers and a silver staff nearby. This appears to be a darshan blessing moment. The seated figure has cues consistent with a person with the throne and blessing role, though appearance is partly obscured by the angle.

A photo of a seated figure with long, wavy dark hair, rudraksha malas, ornate gold-tinted ornaments and an orange-saffron cloth, smiling broadly while raising a hand to touch the forehead of an older man with grey hair who stands with palms joined in front of his face. The older man wears a white kurta and an orange shawl with rudraksha beads. Behind them a seated man in white dhoti with a gold border and a sacred thread sits near a bright red velvet backdrop, with a metal rod hung with bells in the foreground.

A smiling man in a rust-orange turban and matching orange-red shawl sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions before a microphone stand. He wears a gold necklace and a tilak on his forehead, with long hair visible beside him. Behind him is an elaborately carved silver backdrop and red curtains. A small framed portrait sits on a side table, and a silver vessel is nearby. The setting appears to be a satsang or discourse stage.

A priest in an orange-brown dhoti and saffron shawl with a white garland stands at left, performing a puja and holding a small handbell and a lamp-like object toward a decorated seated figure. Opposite, a deity murti with a crown and golden ornaments sits on a blue-draped pedestal, wrapped in a large garland of white, yellow, orange and red flowers. Beside it stands a tall orange-and-white flower-garlanded kalasha-like pot, a brass vessel sits in the foreground, and a gold-framed arch and pink backdrop frame the scene. The priest has a white tripundra forehead mark, and the hall has red curtains and potted plants.

A seated teacher in an orange robe and matching orange turban sits on a low sofa behind a glass table, holding a microphone and speaking in a brick-walled hall. Around him, roughly two dozen participants sit on the floor and on cushions, many wearing orange shawls, including a woman in orange with a dark plait and a man in a striped shirt. A water bottle, tea-light candles, a small red object and papers rest on the glass table. Whether the teacher is a specific person cannot be confirmed from appearance, so the seated figure is described by role only.

A bald man in a purple kurta with a beaded rudraksha-style garland and wristwatch sits on a low cushion, reaching forward with his hands open to receive a sealed certificate envelope offered on a brass tray by a man in orange robes with long dreadlocks at left. Behind them a large seated crowd of girls and women in orange, red and green saris and bright ornaments fills a hall decorated with string lights and a white umbrella, while a leopard-print cloth lies in the lower right foreground. Central figure's identity is not established from appearance; the page's a person claim is not corroborated by visible cues.

A seated man in a rust-red turban and matching red-orange robe sits with palms pressed together in namaste on a gold-leaf throne flanked by golden lion heads. He wears a large rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold pendant, red and white flower garlands draped over his shoulders, and gold bangles on his wrists. Behind him a tall arch is decorated with marigolds and red, white and green flower rows. Painted deity statues stand on either side, one holding a trident, with brass oil lamps in the foreground.

Behind him are leafy trees with fruit, and gilded side panels flank the throne.
