A smiling man in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on an orange cushioned chair before a golden deity murti adorned with yellow and red garlands. Beside him, a man in a white shirt holds a brass kettle-style vessel on a tray. Behind them stands a white statue draped in a red-and-gold shawl, wearing a red turban and a pearl-style necklace. A small orange and gold figure rests near the chair.

A smiling man with swept-back dark hair, gold tilak and a red bindi sits before an ornate silver-embossed backdrop behind a window grille. He wears a marigold garland and a rust-red shawl, and his hands hold an orange cloth that another person, visible only as a forearm with a rudraksha-bead bracelet and wristwatch, is presenting to him from the foreground. The scene appears to be a ceremonial offering of cloth. Appearance-based identification is probable: the swept-back hair, saffron-orange cloth, marigold garland and rudraksha wristwear fit the Swamiji presentation, so this is Swamiji (probable) receiving an orange garment as a devotee presents it.

A seated man in orange and red sannyasi robes sits cross-legged on a tiled floor against a red-bordered wall. He wears a long orange shawl and a long rudraksha mala with dark beads, a dark turtleneck under the robe, and a red bindi on his forehead. His hands rest in his lap and he gazes to the side with a slight smile. Behind him sits an older bearded man in an orange kurta with wire-rimmed glasses and a red mark on his forehead. On the wall beside them is a white board with Sanskrit text in black script, including the heading श्री शिवपश्चा. The scene is an outdoor temple area.

Swamiji (probable) sits on an orange cushioned throne wearing an orange saffron wrap and a long rudraksha mala, with a red bindi on his forehead and long dark hair swept back. His hands are folded in his lap. Behind him stands a white deity murti draped in gold-bordered cloth, with a garland of yellow and orange flowers and a brass kalasha-style vessel at left. One person is visible in this photograph.

A seated man in an orange saffron robe and multiple strands of gold-toned beaded necklaces sits cross-legged on a zebra-striped throne with orange-trimmed cushions. He has long dark hair, a red bindi on his forehead, gold armlets and bangles, and his hands rest clasped in his lap. A microphone on a stand is at his side, and silver trays with fruit, flowers and offerings lie in the foreground. The scene appears to be a satsang or darshan setting.

A seated man in an orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a red bindi sits on an orange-cushioned throne-like chair before a temple shrine with carved stone pillars and brass lamps. His long dark hair is swept back, and he raises one hand in greeting. An elderly bald man in an orange robe and shawl bows toward him with hands together. Behind them, a young man in orange and another man with a camera stand near a backdrop of flower garlands and gold-toned decor. The scene shows an orange-draped dais with a flower garland and a small brass lamp.

A man with long, swept-back dark hair sits in an orange armchair wearing an orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, with a gold trident-like staff resting across his lap and a red bindi on his forehead. His bare feet rest on an orange footstool with a brown mat, and his right hand is raised mid-gesture as if speaking. Behind him is an altar with a deity murti draped in colourful garlands, brass lamps and a kalasha-style vessel. The setting appears to be a temple hall.
