Photograph of a darshan-style gathering at a convention hall. In the left foreground, a seated figure with long dark locs and an orange-brown robe rests a hand on the ornate silver armrest of a red-cushioned throne. Before the throne, a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a lanyard badge sits with palms joined in prayer, eyes closed. Behind and beside him, devotees sit with palms pressed together: a bearded man with a red forehead mark and rudraksha mala, a grey-haired man in glasses holding a mala, a woman in a teal blouse and a woman in white with a bindi. Two shirtless young men stand in the background with hands folded. Audience heads fill the bottom edge, and a white-draped table and a fan appear at the right. The seated figure on the throne is the only person whose appearance could be a candidate for the a person, but the presentation is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so a person is unsure.

A seated figure with long dark braided hair and a rust-orange wrap sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne, extending a hand to touch the shoulder of a kneeling, bare-chested male devotee with rudraksha malas, hands in anjali. Around them, shirtless and white-clad devotees with prayer malas press palms together and bow in an audience hall with white draped chairs and a standing fan. The scene reads as darshan with a blessing touch and seated mandala-style gathering. The throned figure's identity is not established by visible cues alone.

Photograph of a darshan session at the Mahasadashivoham convention. In the left foreground, a figure with long dark braided hair and a reddish-orange garment sits in an ornate silver-and-red throne, extending an arm to touch the hand of a seated devotee. Seated in front, a man in an orange-brown cloth with a rudraksha mala and ID badge presses his palms together in prayer, while others kneel nearby in white clothing and rudraksha malas, some with palms joined. Behind them, a shirtless young man stands with palms pressed together, and a bearded man in white with a red tilak sits among the devotees. Audience members in the foreground and a white-draped table setting fill the background.

A seated long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe and beaded necklaces sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne in a hall, facing a gathering. Around him, many devotees sit on the floor in orange shawls and white dhotis with yellow borders, some with rudraksha malas. A man in white and yellow clothes sits centre-front on a green mat, and a woman in a blue-and-purple sari sits in the right foreground. A microphone stand stands at lower right, and a fire extinguisher hangs on the back wall.

A large indoor satsang hall packed with seated devotees in prayer. In the foreground, several men sit bare-chested in white dhotis with ash markings on their foreheads and arms, rudraksha malas, and orange-red sashes, hands pressed together in anjali. Women in red and maroon saris and orange-trimmed garments sit nearby, also in prayer. Behind them, rows of attendees in white and orange clothing fill the hall, with a gold-decorated altar and deity murti visible at the top. A man in a white shirt stands at left, and a person with a camera works in the background. No single person is clearly identifiable as a person from appearance cues in this frame.

A standing man in an orange-saffron robe with long swept-back dark hair and a white tripundra mark on his forehead presses his palms together in anjali at a red-cushioned silver throne. Two silver tridents stand at left, and a silver kalasha-style vessel sits on the low table in front. Around him seated devotees with folded hands, several bare-chested and wearing rudraksha malas, and others in white and grey clothing fill the hall, with gold drapery and white chairs behind.
