A photo of a formal lunch at a wooden dining table with white plates, steel bowls and a blue vase of white flowers. Seated at left is a woman in orange robes and an orange head wrap. Beside her, a woman with a red bindi wears a gold necklace and bangles. Two standing men in orange and ochre robes with rudraksha malas attend the table. At right, an older bearded man with long grey hair in orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne-style chair. A pink-clad arm is visible at the lower left edge.

A photo from a community meal hall with a long steel table where seated men in white shirts and dhotis eat from metal plates. A man in a white shirt holds a steel bowl and serves food. Beside him stands a long-haired figure in a saffron-orange robe with an orange turban and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, handing food to a seated diner. Several other men in white and orange stand in the background, and a dim hall with pillars and a distant table of items is visible. Appearance cues are present but not conclusive, so the identity of the robed figure is uncertain.

A seated figure in orange and rust robes with a white flower garland and gold armlets sits on a red and leopard-print cushioned seat, pouring from a terracotta pot into a metal dish held by a kneeling elderly man in white clothing with a brown beaded necklace. Behind them, women in orange and rust saffron robes with rudraksha malas hold a tray of white offerings, and a decorated gold-and-floral deity murti stands on a red carpeted floor beside a blue patterned backdrop with a fan. This appears to be a padapuja-style ritual. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron-orange clothing with ceremonial gold ornaments, a cue combination consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so the appearance-based label applies.

A photo of a ceremonial stage event. On the right, a bearded man with long braided hair, a vertical orange-yellow tilak on his forehead, and an orange-saffron robe sits cross-legged on a silver-footed low stool, hands folded in his lap. Beside him, a man in a dark red-brown turban and saffron-brown robe with a beaded necklace leans in and places a white and green flower garland over the seated man's head. Behind them stands a large ornate gold throne-like backdrop, with a framed photograph of a smiling person in a red turban and pink garment. A tiger-striped cloth covers the seat, a brass oil lamp sits in front, and a vase of yellow and orange flowers stands at left.

A dining room scene where a group of men in saffron and orange robes sits at a long white-clad table with plates of food, cups and water bottles. At the far right, a figure in an orange-red turban and orange-red garments sits in an ornate gold and red throne-style chair at the head of the table, with a red-and-gold chair beside him. Men in orange, peach and red robes sit around the table, while a bare-chested man with white tilak marks stands at the left near a gold chair. A yellow tulip arrangement sits in a vase on the table, and gold curtains hang behind.

Photograph of a seated meal or ritual gathering under a red and white tent hung with marigold garlands. A man in orange robes and a red shawl with gold trim, holding a bell or small ritual object, stands at the left serving the row. Seated on the floor at low ornate wooden tables with brass bowls and white flower offerings are several saffron-robed sannyasis. In the centre, a man in a rust-brown turban and brown wrap with long dark hair presses his palms together and smiles. Beside him, an orange-robed man with a shaved head and an orange head covering holds a phone. Another seated figure in orange with a grey beard sits further back. The scene reads as an annadan or satsang-style gathering.
