A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion, wearing an orange robe, with long dark hair swept back. Before him, a woman in a white sari with yellow floral print kneels with palms joined, while a man in white kneels and extends his hands. Two attendants stand on the left in orange robes and a woman in white with a yellow shawl sits behind them; another woman in white with a yellow shawl stands at right. Behind the throne is a painted backdrop of large banyan-like trees and foliage. A distinctive orange robe, swept-back hair and throne cues make the central seated figure a probable Swamiji (probable) presiding in person.

Padapuja ritual in a yellow-draped hall. A man in saffron robes, with a white and red flower garland, rudraksha mala and a red tilak, sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion armrests and is seated on a gold foot-stool. A devotee in a white dhoti and orange shawl kneels before him, touching his feet with offerings, as women in white saris with yellow shawls stand behind holding brass plates. Bowls of offerings and flowers lie on the floor and on a side shelf, and the throne is set against gold curtains. The man on the throne is a person by appearance cues: saffron robes, rudraksha mala and garland, with the page noting his presence.

A blurred stage photo shows an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a gold canopy garlanded with yellow and red flowers, set against an orange-and-blue painted sunset backdrop. A seated figure in orange robes sits on the throne, with a person in white kneeling and bowing with forehead to the golden base. A woman in an orange garment stands at left and another woman in a white sari with a gold border stands at right. Red-draped tables and a small lit lamp flank the throne. Appearance-based label: the seated figure in orange robes on the throne is a person candidate, though the face and features are too blurred to confirm.

A photograph of a padapuja ritual on a stage with a red and gold backdrop. A seated man in orange robes with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, holding an orange fruit and smiling. Two devotees in white clothes lie prostrate on a striped rug, one kissing the seated man's bare feet while the other bows low. A standing man in orange robes with long curly hair stands at left, and a woman in a white top with a grey shawl stands at right beside a small table with a microphone and a small bottle and offerings. The seated man matches the candidate appearance of Swamiji, with long hair and orange robes, so the presence is probable.
