An empty indoor stage set with deep red velvet drapes swagged along the top with gold trim. In front sits an ornate white and gold throne with a red cushioned seat and a small gold canopy above it, set on a raised red-tiled platform. Painted pillars with colourful geometric and animal motifs frame the stage on both sides. No people are visible in the frame.

A decorated stage set up in a large hall with a white tent-like ceiling. Red velvet drapes frame the stage, and tall colourful fabric panels in yellow, blue and red hang from the ceiling. A large ornate white and red decorated throne-like structure with festoons sits at the centre, with a backdrop banner bearing a faded portrait. Brass or clay oil lamps and flower offerings line the steps of the raised platform. No people are visible in the scene.

A stage set for a satsang with deep maroon velvet drapes, cream swags with gold fringe, and tall banners patterned in blue, red, yellow and orange. Centre stage stands an ornate gold throne-like pedestal holding a framed orange-toned portrait of a long-haired man in a saffron wrap with a bead necklace, flanked by brass oil lamps. Small red flowers sit before the pedestal. At left, two painted deity figures in green and gold dress stand on a low wooden stand. At the lower right corner, a partly visible man in white sits on the floor. No other people are visible, and the portrait is a depiction on display, not a person physically present.

A stage set with draped red and white fabric valances across the top and red velvet curtains at the sides. At centre, a seated figure in yellow dhoti sits on a red-cushioned gilded throne (peetha) beneath a large cobra-hood canopy. The back wall shows peacock-feather motifs, hanging garlands and round decorative lamps. Potted palms flank the throne, and steps lead up to the stage. A few heads are visible at the bottom edge of the frame, and the scene resembles a decorated darshan stage. The seated figure is a figure in a statue or depiction, so identity is uncertain.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red-cushioned ornate golden throne on a raised stage, backed by an ornately carved gold throne back and deep red velvet curtains with yellow spotlight beams. The figure wears a tall orange crown or turban, a long beaded garland and a rudraksha-style mala, and raises one hand in a blessing gesture while holding a small object. Golden trident-topped stands flank the stage, and a small white table with a candle sits beside the throne. Looks like a darshan setting. Probable Swamiji appearance cues: saffron clothing, crown and ornate garlands seated on a throne.

Empty stage with maroon velvet drapes and a pale draped valance. Centre, a gilded golden throne-like pedestal holds a framed painted portrait of a seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a beaded necklace, set against a rocky backdrop. Small red and pink flowers rest on the pedestal's base. To the left stands a pair of painted murti figures seated on a low wooden stand, one in green and one in red with ornate jewellery. A colourful striped vertical banner hangs on the right with an orange fringe. A microphone stands at the front left. No people are visible.

A stage viewed between heavy red velvet curtains that are drawn open at the centre. Within the framed opening, a seated figure in an orange-yellow garment with white garlands sits on a raised throne decorated with red and white striped canopy, marigold garlands and yellow flower festoons. The figure's hands are pressed together in namaste. A low red platform in the foreground holds a floral rangoli design and a small white deity murti or sculpture adorned with flower garlands. A probable Swamiji figure is seated on the throne, identified by the saffron-orange clothing, long hair, and garlands, and is seated in a throne setting for a Guru Poornima event.

Red velvet stage curtains are parted in the center, revealing a small stage with a red and cream patterned rug in the foreground. A microphone on a stand stands near a partially visible seated figure in white clothing with orange fabric beneath, sitting on the stage in the back. The scene is a stage setup for a talk or discourse, with the figure barely visible behind the curtain opening.

A blurred photograph of a stage set for the Brahmotsava 2008 event. Heavy red velvet curtains are drawn open on either side, framing a central red carpeted walkway leading up to a raised white and gold throne. The throne is decorated with yellow and white floral garlands and topped with a golden canopy. Seated on the throne is a figure in red and yellow robes wearing a garland, though the figure is small and indistinct. The white stage floor has a purple strip and wooden edging. No other people are visible.
