Photo of a ceremonial silver-and-gold palanquin-style throne canopy inside a decorated hall, hung with red and white flower garlands. A figure seated on the ornate golden throne, seen from behind, has long dark hair, a red-and-maroon garment and a flower garland on the head, with an ornate chain beside. Gold oil lamps stand in the foreground. Several women in orange and blue saris stand in a group near the throne, and camera tripods and a cameraman are at left. A framed portrait hangs on the wall above, and framed images line the hall. Counting the visible people, roughly ten or more are present.

A man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a silver and red-cushioned throne under an ornate silver canopy draped with red, white and yellow flower garlands. Golden carved panels frame the throne, with a silver trident and staff standing to the left and a brass lamp stand to the right. Two attendants in white and saffron sit partly visible at the left edge, one wearing a rudraksha-style necklace. A microphone stands before the seated figure. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a crown-style head covering and saffron robes with ornate ceremonial adornment, consistent with the page's reference to a discourse session.

Photograph of a temple-style satsang hall decorated with abundant white and orange flower garlands and brass oil lamps in the foreground. A seated figure wearing a dark orange-brown turban, a white-and-saffron garland and a rudraksha-style mala sits on a gold-and-maroon cushioned throne before a microphone stand. Behind him stands a painted image of a four-armed deity in a blue-skinned style with a crown and necklaces. On the left, a decorated palanquin or ornate seat with red and gold fringed canopies holds a deity murti, and a gold-trimmed throne rises in the centre. Red and gold patterned carpet covers the floor, and a maroon curtain hangs behind.

A photograph of a figure seated on an ornate gilded throne with lion-shaped armrests, in a dimly lit hall lined with brass oil lamps and hanging lamps. The seated person wears an orange saffron robe, a golden crown, a red rudraksha-style mala and a multicoloured flower garland draped over the shoulders, with hands pressed together in namaste. Silver and brass lamp stands wrapped in yellow and white flowers flank the throne, and a bell hangs above. Offerings of flowers and a brass plate sit at the base. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure, identified by the crown, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garlands; the figure is seated on a throne in a temple-style setting.

Photograph of a seated figure on a gilded swing-throne canopy decorated with green leaves and red, yellow and white flower garlands, with a hanging tassel. The seated figure wears a golden crown, a white floral garland, bare shoulders with gold armlets, and a reddish-brown dhoti. Behind a gold-framed backdrop with maroon curtains, two gold statues flank the stage. In the foreground a person in an orange-saffron turban and orange shawl holds up a flaming lamp toward the seated figure, a ceremonial aarti. The seated figure is a probable match for a person based on the crown, garlands and gold ornaments, identified only by appearance.

A man in orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate silver-framed couch with a red velvet cushion and a garland of green leaves and flowers in his lap, eyes closed in meditation. Behind him stands a bronze Nataraja statue of dancing Shiva within a flame arch against a red wall, and a silver canopy frames the seat. To the left, several children and young people in orange and white clothes stand with hands folded in prayer near a white stand with a bell and brass vessels. The setting appears to be a temple or ashram hall during a devotional gathering.

A photograph inside a temple-style hall shows a seated man in a red-brown robe and a white and red flower garland on a golden canopied seat with a gilded backrest and red draped garlands. Devotees in orange, white and cream saris and garments sit with their backs to the camera, facing the seat. Wooden beams, stone pillars, framed pictures on the walls and colourful striped pillar wrappings surround the hall, and a studio light stands at the upper right. The seated figure's appearance is uncertain, so the central person is described by role as a seated figure on a throne.
