Photograph of a stage setting at a temple hall. On the left, a man with long dark hair and a gold crown sits on an ornate gold throne with a cobra hood carved above it, wearing an orange-saffron robe, a yellow-marigold garland, and holding a staff. The throne is flanked by brass lion figures. A large LED backdrop shows a lit temple tower, with two figures in red and white costume standing in front of it. On the right, a deity murti, dressed with a green silk sari and draped in white and multicolour flower garlands with gold jewellery, is seated under a gold canopy with a multicoloured fringed parasol. Small standing metal figures in gold and yellow garlands flank it. A red carpet lies on the floor.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes, wearing a black cylindrical headpiece, a gold pendant and beaded necklaces, sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a canopy and lion-like carvings, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Beside him on the right, a decorated altar displays deity murtis in garlands of yellow and orange flowers, with a gold-framed arch and a brocade cloth. Behind them hang dark maroon curtains and a tall decorated pillar with colourful patterns. The man's appearance is consistent with the page's description of a person, though the features are not clear enough to confirm, so he is described by role as the speaker on the throne.

A painted jungle backdrop with a figure in the upper left completes the scene. Only one physical person is visible.

A photograph of a seated man in an orange-brown robe and gold necklace on a golden throne draped with a tiger skin and a floral garland of red, yellow, purple and white blooms. Beside him stands a decorated deity murti with a gold crown, wrapped in a white and pink cloth, garlanded in multicolour flowers and set on a green base, with a golden arched backdrop. A ceremonial setting with a wooden staff leaning against the throne and a small speaker on the wall. The man appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by his swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-orange robe seated on the throne with a tiger skin. He is the only physical person visible.

Beside him on a gold-framed throne is a decorated murti of a deity dressed in red and gold silk, adorned with heavy garlands, jewelled necklaces and a crown, with two smaller figures in green and purple garments flanking it. A golden trident stands in the background, a golden umbrella hangs above the seated man, and a painted backdrop of palm trees completes the setting. A red cloth drapes the platform below.
