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.

Fruit offerings sit near the base of the throne. A white draped backdrop surrounds the scene.

A photograph of a long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, raising a hand to bless a bowing man in a white shirt and white dhoti who has his palms pressed together. Around them stand a man in orange robes at left, a man in white kurta and dhoti with an orange shawl in the foreground, a woman in white with a yellow shawl, and an older man in a white shirt at right, who is bending forward. The backdrop shows a large tree and a red painted temple column.

The seated figure is a person, given the saffron robes, long hair and throne.
