A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne, holding a red fruit, with bare feet resting on a flower-strewn tray.

A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair sits on a gold-ornate throne with red cushions, bare feet resting on a red cushion. A woman in a pink sari offers a folded paper or small item to him with both hands, while others in white and yellow saris stand nearby.

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.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, decorated with a garland of red and white flowers above. Devotees surround him: a woman in a pink patterned sari and another in a pale yellow sari face him with hands near the throne, while an older man in white dhoti and shirt, a man in black shirt and an orange-robed attendant stand nearby. A red and gold ritual setup with offerings sits on a table at left. Bright red and multicoloured floral decor fills the upper background. The seated figure has long dark hair, a red-tinged forehead and bare feet on the throne's footstool, with a rudraksha-style mala visible on his neck. The appearance and throne setting fit the a person candidate, but the identification is uncertain.
