A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe on a zebra-striped couch, with long dark swept-back hair and a raised hand in a speaking gesture. A man in a white shirt and grey shorts kneels on an orange-and-black tiger-striped mat before the seated figure with his head bowed and hands near the couch. Behind them, another person in orange sits on the floor near a wooden shrine cabinet and a small wooden altar, with a wooden throne-like chair and a gold trident on the right.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long, swept-back black hair and a rudraksha mala sits on a gold-carved throne with plush red cushions, placing one hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee. The devotee wears a white kurta, a rudraksha mala and has his hands clasped in prayer with eyes closed. Behind them, a man in white dhoti with maroon border and gold necklace stands with hands folded, and another person in orange garments stands in the background. A small tray with red apples and offerings sits beside the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-robed figure with long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ornate gold throne fits the candidate description, consistent with a blessing or darshan. Gold-trimmed red-and-gold throne setting.

A photograph of a satsang-style ceremony indoors. A man in an orange-saffron dhoti and orange shawl with gold necklaces and armbands sits on a red and black zebra-patterned throne-like seat, smiling, while a devotee in white kneels before him and touches his feet. To the left, a shaved-headed priest in orange robes sits with palms pressed together. Behind them is a large backdrop of a banyan tree beside a temple arch with painted figures. A small brass offering tray with fruit sits on the floor at right, and a cooling unit stands at left.

A photograph of a seated man in orange robes on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned back, a microphone on a stand before him. He wears an orange shawl over his shoulder and a red bindi on his forehead. In the foreground, a man in a white dhoti and orange shawl kneels and bows with hands joined, while another man in orange robes leans in beside him. Behind them hang draped pink and maroon fabrics, and a small orange cushioned chair sits at left beside bags and stacked books. Water bottles and books rest on a side table.

A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with an orange shawl draped over one shoulder places both hands on the head of a shaven-headed man kneeling before him with palms pressed together in namaste. The kneeling man wears a white kurta and white dhoti with an orange shawl. The seated figure rests one bare foot on an orange folded cloth on a black-and-white zebra-print cushion. A white pedestal fan stands behind, a dark curtain hangs in the background, and a red patterned carpet lies at the lower left. The page does not confirm a person's presence, and the seated figure's face is not clearly visible, so the a person field is set to unsure.

A photograph of an indoor hall with a zebra-print armchair on a raised white platform. A woman with long dark hair in an orange robe and a beaded necklace sits in the chair, smiling and resting her hands on her knees. A man in white kneels on the floor with his forehead lowered toward her feet. Standing behind him are several men in light shirts and trousers, one in an orange shawl with hands folded in greeting, and another in orange clothing. White plastic chairs line the left side of the room and a yellow floor line runs across the floor.

A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala, with long dark hair swept back, smiling as he places his hand on the forehead of a kneeling devotee in a white-and-grey striped shirt and dark trousers. A standing man in white kurta with an orange shawl and a red tilak watches beside them. A white cushioned chair with a red pillow sits behind the seated figure, with dark red drapes in the background and a white fan at left. Three people are visible.
