A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-brown throne with lion-head armrests, set against a cream and blue patterned wall. The seated figure wears a rust-red shawl over a saffron-brown robe and has long dark hair tied back, a tilak on the forehead and bracelets on the wrists; this is an appearance-based a person on the throne. A bald man in a white dhoti with a red border, glasses and a rudraksha mala kneels at left with hands joined in namaskar. A woman in a pink-and-cream sari kneels at front right beside a brass plate of red flower petals on a small red-draped low table, and another woman in a cream sari kneels at right. A trident stands at left, and a red carpet covers the floor.

A photograph of a padapuja-style ceremony in a hall with blue draped curtains. A man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne wears white dhoti and shawl, a saffron-orange rudraksha mala and a gold necklace; the throne-seated figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive ornate garb, a person candidate. Before him, a shaven-headed priest in white with a yellow dhoti sits cross-legged, and a young boy in a red shirt reaches toward a golden tray with offerings and incense sticks. Two women in white and cream saris kneel with folded hands, one wearing a gold necklace, and a woman in a white sari with a multicoloured border sits at right. A golden table holds flowers and fruit, and a flower vase stands on a gold cabinet beside the throne.

A seated man in a maroon robe and a pink-and-white flower garland sits on a gold ornate throne with red cushions, smiling, with a forehead tilak and rudraksha mala. Beside him a woman in orange robes with long braided hair and a pearl necklace holds a silver tray of small oil lamps, yellow flowers and offerings. A man in a white kurta bends forward with folded hands before the throne, while a standing man in white dhoti and a long rudraksha mala stands behind, holding a ceremonial staff. Gold carved pillars surround the scene.

A seated man in an orange-red robe and a long rudraksha mala sits on a gold-carved throne with a lion-head armrest, his feet on a red cushioned footstool. A young attendant in a white dhoti with gold border kneels before him, pouring liquid from a brass vessel over his hand into a silver plate. Behind them stand a standing attendant in orange clothing with a rudraksha mala and a second attendant in an orange robe, with a purple-painted face. Two large deity murtis with crowns and garlands stand in the background, and pink and yellow flowers lie at the right. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and appears to be Swamiji (probable), given the long hair, orange robe, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, with the throne and the abhishekam-style pouring. A microphone stands near him.

Gold oil lamps stand at the right beside a colourful painted deity figure with many arms and a golden crown, in an indoor room with a wall air-conditioner and a studio light.

Behind them is a silver-and-gold deity murti garlanded with orange marigolds, and a brass lamp stands on the stage with pink roses in the foreground. a person is the seated figure in the orange robes and gold necklaces on the throne.

A satsang scene in a temple-style hall. A man in a white shirt and red shawl bows forward while offering a silver tray of flowers and a small saffron-coloured item to a seated figure on a golden throne. Beside him, a woman in white with a red shawl stands with palms pressed together. The seated figure wears saffron robes, a green cloth, a marigold garland with red flowers, a rudraksha mala and gold armlets, and raises one hand in blessing. Behind them are a painted pillar, a deity mural and a brass oil lamp.
