A photo from a stage programme in an ornate hall. On the left, a man with long swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged on a golden throne-like seat with maroon cushions, wearing orange-saffron clothing and a shawl, with flanking stone lion sculptures and painted pillars behind him. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and his seated position on the throne. To the right, a gilded arch frames two decorated deity murti garlanded with red and yellow flowers. Four children sit on the floor in front, wearing turbans, flower garlands and colourful traditional outfits in pink, green, purple and maroon, with a blue ocean backdrop panel and an oil lamp nearby.

A stage event with red velvet drapes behind a large golden relief of a multi-armed deity seated in meditation, holding a staff or sword, with a crown and ornate necklaces. A man seated centrally on an ornate white-and-red throne wears an orange-red shawl, a red turban, a long white garland and a rudraksha-style mala, with a microphone stand in front of him. Flanking him on the stage, a row of people sit on the floor in white and cream dhotis and saffron-orange cloths, and several women in gold and cream saris with garlands sit on golden chairs and cushions. A small wooden stool with a garland rests before the throne, and a patterned rug covers the stage floor. Central figure appearance suggests a person, though the face is uncertain; the seated arrangement is consistent with a satsang or discourse.

A photograph of a ceremonial hall with a golden throne draped in a tiger-skin cloth and red cushions. A bald-headed man in a saffron-orange robe with a rudraksha mala sits on the throne, which is at left. Behind and beside him stands a painted image of a deity with a raised hand. At right, a gold-arched alcove holds a deity murti decorated with red and white garlands, flanked by a child in a red and gold costume with a white crown, and two young performers in ornate costumes seated on the floor, one wearing a yellow garland and a blue dress. Brass oil lamps stand on the floor near the throne, and a dark red curtain hangs behind the stage.

A stage event with red curtains and a large golden relief of a seated multi-armed deity behind the platform. In the centre, a man sits on an ornate white-and-red throne (peetha), wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, an orange turban, a white floral garland, and a gold necklace, holding a staff. Flanking him, men in white dhotis with orange shawls and rudraksha malas sit on the stage, and women in saris and garlands sit or stand, one holding a microphone. A floor microphone stands in front of the throne. The page presents this as an event with a person, but the seated figure's appearance is only partly distinctive, so the identity is uncertain.

A stage at a satsang event with red drapes and hanging lanterns. On the left, a bearded man in an orange-red turban and orange robe sits cross-legged on an ornate wooden throne with leopard-print cushions, a shawl over his shoulders and a long rudraksha mala. Beside him stand four women: a girl in an orange sari, a young woman in a white sari holding a microphone, an older woman with blonde hair in a purple sari, and a woman in orange at a clear acrylic podium. Potted plants and a large clay pot sit on a colourful striped rug, and a carved golden deity murti is on the left.
