Photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne beside a golden lion carving, with a gilded deity murti behind. The seated man wears a saffron-orange dhoti, a patterned pale shawl, a long gold necklace, gold bangles and a head-mounted microphone, smiling as he extends his arm toward a devotee. Two men in white kurtas with red waist sashes stand before him, one bending forward and handing over a folded orange cloth. Probable Swamiji is shown with long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ornate gold jewellery and a shawl, presiding as the receiving figure. A devotee offering or darshan scene.2014-04-04April 04 20132013-04-04A photograph of a man seated on a brown leather throne-style chair with gold lion-head armrests, wearing a maroon-red dhoti and a matching draped cloth, a long rudraksha-style bead mala and a gold ceremonial pendant, with a white tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair. He turns toward a kneeling devotee in a red t-shirt and red-and-black patterned shawl with glasses, who bows with hands joined near the chair.

A microphone stand is visible at right, and gold-lit deity murtis fill the background.2015-09-18May 12 20142014-05-12A photograph of a ceremonial honouring on a golden-lion-armed throne. A seated man in red-orange robes with a golden necklace and a long mala of rudraksha beads sits smiling, with a white tilak on his forehead and a microphone at his side. A man in a white shirt kneels before him, bowing his head, while the seated man reaches out to drape a red-and-maroon shawl over him. A woman in red-orange sari with a rudraksha mala stands at left holding the shawl, and golden deity figures glow in the background.2015-09-18A photograph of a ceremonial scene. On the left, a smiling man with long swept-back dark hair, bare-chested apart from a rudraksha mala and an orange-saffron shawl, sits on a throne with a gold lion-head armrest and a gilded lion figure beside him; his extended hand touches a tray.

An older man in a white shirt with an orange shawl kneels and holds his hands in añjali, bowing with flowers near a golden deity murti and a trident decorated with pink flowers. Two women stand to the right, one in white with a rudraksha mala and tilak, the other in red with folded hands. A bald man with rudraksha beads is partly visible at the left edge. The scene suggests a puja or darshan, with the seated figure's appearance unclear, so the identity is uncertain.2014-05-12A seated man with long dark swept-back hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a long gold-bead necklace and a rust-red saffron wrap sits on a throne-like seat with a peacock-feather fan beside him. He smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a kneeling devotee in a white dhoti and red-patterned shawl. The devotee bows with his head lowered and his hands together, and the man holds a folded white paper in his left hand. Behind them stands a large gold-plated ornate object and a silver staff, against deep red drapes. The scene resembles a blessing or darshan moment.2014-07-21May 12 20142014-05-12A photograph of a seated man on a brown leather throne with gold lion-head armrests, wearing a saffron-red robe and a long gold-and-bead necklace with a gold pendant, and a white tilak on his forehead.

Several people are present in the scene.2015-09-18A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a white tilak on the forehead and long gold-bead necklaces leans forward and places his right hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt with an orange shawl.
