A seated man in orange robes sits cross-legged on a gold-edged throne with red cushions, eyes closed, with a long dark hair, a gold necklace and a beaded mala. Behind him is a large printed backdrop of temple pillars and a painted mandala. On the left a woman in white with palms pressed together sits on red cushions, and on the right a shaved-headed man in orange robes sits with hands folded in namaskar. A brass oil lamp with flame stands near the throne, and a devotee's hand holding an offering is visible in the foreground. The scene suggests a satsang with the seated figure as the central teacher.

A photograph of a satsang on a golden throne-like dais draped in red cushions, with a man seated cross-legged in the centre, eyes closed, wearing orange robes, a rudraksha mala and gold bangles, with long dark hair swept back. He sits in a hand-held meditative posture. To the left, a woman in white clothes sits with palms pressed together in prayer, and a figure in orange sits at the far left edge. On the right, a shaven-headed man in orange robes sits with palms joined. A fire flame burns in a lamp in the foreground next to a seated person's head. Behind the throne is a painted backdrop of a temple gateway with a rainbow circular design and a deity figure on a pillar to the left. Probable identity cues: long swept-back hair, orange robes and rudraksha mala on the seated central figure.

A man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions, wearing an orange saffron wrap and a long ceremonial garland of orange-and-gold beads, with a red bindi on his forehead and bangles on his arms, hands folded in his lap. He appears to be a person, seated as the central figure of the ceremony. Gold oil lamps with lit flames flank the throne, and a gold peacock-topped finial stands at right. Several people are visible in the foreground: a woman in a pink garment with hands pressed together in prayer, a person in yellow, a woman in a green and maroon sari seated with her back to the camera, and a woman in a teal sari with palms joined at right. Pale blue and pink painted pillars frame the scene.

He sits cross-legged on an ornate gold and red throne-like peetha with red cushions, holding white rods. Behind him is a painted temple-pillar backdrop with a colourful circular mandala. In the foreground at right, a blurred person in orange raises a flaming oil lamp (aarti) toward the seated figure.

A seated figure in white clothing and a golden ornate throne with red cushioning and flower garlands sits centrally on a stage before dark purple drapery, hands pressed together in namaskar. The figure wears a white dhoti-style garment and a beaded necklace and has long dark hair. Two attendants in saffron-orange robes kneel at a low ritual setup on a patterned rug, with a silver kalasha-style vessel, brass lamps, silver bowls and yellow fruits. A water bottle and a microphone stand are visible. The figure's appearance fits the page's a person reference through long swept hair and a beaded necklace, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm.

A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet seat and a gold canopy with hanging leaf ornaments. He wears an orange saffron shawl over his shoulders, a rudraksha mala necklace, and a red-and-white vertical mark on his forehead, with hands resting in his lap. A matching orange-draped figure is a presiding Swamiji (probable) on the peetha: the long hair, ornate saffron clothing and rudraksha mala are visible cues. Golden oil lamps with lit flames and orange and red flower arrangements flank the throne. In front, a golden base holds flower offerings and pink lotus blooms, with incense sticks and a silver plate of offerings. Around the platform, several women in white saris with yellow shawls and a shaven-headed man in white ritual dress sit facing the throne, seen from behind. A backdrop depicts a temple gopuram-style archway with deity imagery.

A photograph of a ceremonial stage with dark purple drapes. A seated figure in white garments with long dark hair and a gold necklace sits on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion, decorated with garlands of flowers in red, white and orange, hands pressed together in namaste. A kneeling man in an orange robe holds a lit oil lamp toward the seated figure while a woman in an orange sari with a maroon border sits with hands folded in namaste. Silver vessels, a brass pot, a plate of yellow fruit and a bottle of water sit on the stage. Swamiji (probable) is shown seated on the throne, with long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and white clothing, in an aarti setting.
