Indoor convention hall with white walls, potted palms and a seated figure on a gold quilted armchair draped with a leopard-print cloth, adorned with red garlands and a red cloth. The seated figure has long dark hair and wears white with gold trim and red garlands; the appearance is consistent with a long-haired presenter but not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity, and a person in front kneels with raised hands in greeting. Standing devotees in white and orange shawls press palms together, and seated attendees in white sit on the floor at lower left. Flower arrangements, a brass lamp stand and a gold kalasha-style lamp sit by the dais.

A photograph of a seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a white and red flower garland, sitting on a white cushioned seat with a walking staff leaning beside. A bald kneeling devotee in a striped red shirt and grey trousers offers something on a plate, while a standing man in white with an orange shawl, two young women in yellow and maroon salwar with white scarves, and other participants in white stand behind in a hall with dark drapes and a ceiling fan. The robed figure has bare shoulders and distinctive long hair and ornate clothing cues; this is a probable Swamiji appearance, shown in person during a darshan-style offering.

A photograph of a pada pooja in a домestic room. On the right, a long-haired man in orange robes and a white jasmine garland sits on a white sheet, smiling and raising one palm in blessing. In front of him an elderly man in white kurta with a rudraksha mala kneels on a patterned rug, hands pressed together as he reaches toward the seated figure's feet. On the left, a woman in a white embroidered sari stands watching. Behind them, several people in white and cream clothes and a child in white stand with hands folded. A small tray with flowers, petals and fruit sits on the sheet. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, orange robe and garland match the a person cues, but the appearance is uncertain enough to note as such.

A photograph of a pada pooja in a devotee's home. A long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe and a white flower garland sits on a white sheet on a bed, raising one palm in blessing toward a kneeling man in white kurta pants, who bows with folded hands and a rudraksha mala draped over his arm. A woman in a white embroidered sari with gold bangles stands at left with her hands together. Behind them, several standing onlookers watch: a man in an orange shirt with a red rudraksha mala, a woman in a white outfit with a red bead necklace, and an older man in a cream striped kurta with a red mala who holds a phone to his ear. A patterned rug and flower petals lie on the floor.

A photograph of a private room with a white bed and white pillows, a black wardrobe and white curtains. A man in a saffron-orange robe with long dark swept-back hair and multiple rudraksha malas sits cross-legged on the bed, extending his right hand toward a kneeling devotee. The kneeling man wears a white kurta with an orange shawl and holds both palms raised in front of his face. Two seated people in white clothing sit on a red patterned rug on the left; a woman in a white garment with a red bindi and rudraksha mala watches, and a man with grey hair in white clothing and rudraksha beads sits nearby. A cane rests on the bed in the foreground.

A seated figure in orange-saffron robes sits with palms pressed together in namaste on a white cushioned chair with orange-trimmed bolster pillows, wearing a white and red flower garland and a red-beaded mala. Around him, devotees in white clothes kneel and sit with hands folded in prayer, including a bald man in white, women in white salwar and a woman in a cream sari with turquoise border, and a man in orange shawl at right. A tray of fruit and flowers, a bottle of water and printed booklets sit on a side table, with a vase of colourful flowers at right. Setting appears to be a padapuja gathering in a plain room.

A photograph of a devotional gathering indoors. A long-haired figure with a flower garland and a saffron-orange wrap sits on a cushioned seat on the left, bare-chested in the upper body, with his hands extended.

The saffron-clad figure has long swept-back dark hair and sits on a white cushioned seat with yellow and white flowers nearby. Behind them a woman in a white and gold-trimmed outfit holds a small booklet, and a person in white stands at left. A brass bowl sits at the lower right on white cloth.

A photograph of a padapuja-style blessing in a plain white room with a blue floor mat. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a white-covered seat, placing both hands on the head of a man in white dhoti and shirt who kneels before him and bows his head. Nearby, a woman in white with folded hands sits beside a child, and another woman in orange kneels at the lower right. Brass vessels, a plate of pink flower petals, and lit oil lamps are arranged on the white floor. The orange-robed figure with long hair and saffron clothing is a probable Swamiji (probable) giving blessings.
