A green-lit ceremonial scene in a temple-like hall. A seated figure with long dark hair wears a red blouse, a heavy gold necklace and gold bangles, holding a small stick or offering toward a devotee. Behind them stand tall gold ceremonial staffs and a golden deity murti with ornate garlands and lit oil lamps. A woman in a red sari sits to the right, smiling, and a bald man in a white dhoti with a gold border and red shawl kneels with palms pressed together, receiving the moment in devotion. This appears to be a paada pooja, the worship of feet, with the seated figure as the honoured presence; the seated figure shows distinctive long hair and ornate gold adornments, so the in_person candidate is probable but the appearance is not certain enough for a firm identification.

Photo of a satsang moment in which a man in a white kurta with an orange-and-maroon shawl holds up a folded paper near his face while raising his right palm. Facing him, a bare-chested man with long dark hair, a beard, a gold-bead necklace and a rudraksha mala, wearing a rust-orange wrap, reaches toward the paper. Behind them is a golden ornate throne with a red cushion. A partially visible figure in white stands at left.

A photograph of a ceremonial scene inside a temple hall. A seated man on a red-cushioned silver throne wears a leopard-print headband with flowers in his hair, a brown-red shawl, a white and red floral garland, gold armbands and a gold chain. He is smiling and gesturing with both raised hands toward a shirtless devotee seen from behind in a white and yellow cloth, who also raises open palms. To the left, a young attendant in orange dhoti with white markings on his arms and rudraksha beads holds up a white sheet of paper. A figure in orange and white is partly visible at the lower right, and a gold-decorated background is behind. a person appears as the seated figure, identified by his long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery, and ceremonial throne with garland. Crowd is small.

Ceremonial temple scene before an ornate gold throne-like backdrop draped with red and white flower garlands. A bearded man in a rust-red robe with a bare shoulder sits at right, a white vibhuti mark on his forehead and long hair swept back, his eyes closed in a serene expression. Two attendants stand at left in white dhotis with yellow borders, one with his hair in a tall topknot and bare torso marked with white paste, holding a folded white paper. A kneeling devotee with a shaved head and white cloth draped over his shoulder bends forward in front of the seated figure. The scene suggests a puja or darshan ritual, with the white paper being offered or handled during the ceremony.

A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, a rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklaces, wearing a rust-red wrap, sits on a gilded throne-like chair and extends his hand toward an older man. The older man wears black-rimmed glasses, a grey top and a maroon shawl and stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them stand young attendants in saffron and orange robes, one with a rudraksha mala, beside a gold kalasha-like altar draped in maroon cloth with gold garlands. Dimly lit with green plants in the background, it looks like a darshan moment.

A photograph of a seated man in a maroon-brown robe on a red throne, wearing a rudraksha-style bead garland with red and white flower strands, gold armlet and bracelets, and a dark topknot with a crescent ornament at the top of his head. Behind him is a large arrangement of yellow, white and red flowers with green leaves, and a gold-draped backdrop. A man in a white dhoti with a gold border and an orange rudraksha mala kneels before him, holding his hand and a gold-decorated object. Another person in white stands behind them, and a gold deity figure appears at the upper left. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a person, with cues including the topknot, flower garlands, rudraksha beads and ceremonial gold ornaments; his role is the honoured guru receiving an offering.

A photograph of a seated figure with long, swept-back dark hair wearing a maroon-red cloth and a rudraksha mala with ornate gold-toned adornments, sitting in front of a gilded throne-like backrest and a richly decorated altar with layered gold necklaces and red drapery. The figure gestures with an open hand while speaking to a young man in a white t-shirt and red-and-white checked shawl who stands with palms joined in anjali. Another person in white clothing is partly visible at right, and a trident-like staff rests near the altar. Green foliage and a golden canopy fill the background.
