A seated man on a gilded throne with red cushions wears saffron-orange robes, a multi-strand rudraksha mala, and white markings on his arms, with a red bindi on his forehead and long hair. Before the throne, a devotee in orange robes and a shaved head sits cross-legged on striped mats, holding a lit lamp (arati) toward him, with a silver plate of offerings and a pink-and-white flower at the throne's base. Behind the throne, a painted deity murti appears in an arched niche, with cream columns wrapped in green leaves and orange-red berries. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure; he is shown with distinctive saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and a crown-like throne setting, while the lamp-bearing devotee is a priest.

A photograph inside a marble-floored hall at what appears to be a religious institution. On the right, an elderly bald man with white ash marks on his forehead and arms, wearing a rudraksha mala and gold chain and orange cloth, sits cross-legged on a peach-coloured cushioned dais before a golden ornate chair, with a silver tray holding a bowl, a cup and red fruit before him. Left, a younger man with long hair and orange robes with a gold-edged shawl and a multi-strand gold and bead necklace sits on a golden chair and smiles with hands folded. In the foreground a man in an orange robe with a maroon border prostrates himself on the floor before the dais. A standing man in a white shirt and white dhoti stands in the background beside a wooden door, and an orange banner hangs at the top right.

A photograph of a central figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a red-and-gold cushion, framed by a silver-and-white decorated backdrop with a gilded umbrella canopy. The seated person wears an orange turban, orange robes, a red-and-white flower garland and an orange rudraksha-style necklace, hands pressed in anjali. Before him, devotees in orange robes sit on the floor: a bald man in orange kneels with hands folded, and a woman in orange with glasses kneels to the right. Offerings include a silver vessel, bowls of fruit such as apples, bananas and limes, and a patterned carpet. A golden trident stands to the right. The seated figure has a candidate appearance with orange turban, orange robes and ceremonial necklace, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is labelled probable Swamiji seated on the throne in a puja or felicitation setting.

Petals lie on the green floor cloth. The seated figure has distinctive saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and an ornate throne, but the appearance cues are not conclusive enough for a confident identification.
