A photograph of a seated figure in orange-red robes with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace, dressed in orange and ochre sannyasi clothing, extending a hand forward as a man in a white shirt and grey trousers bends to receive something from his palms. Behind them a standing man in orange robes with a white tilak watches, and a kneeling woman in a white sari with a red-and-gold saree border sits to the left. Other women in white and pink saris, a young girl in a light blue dress and a white-clad woman stand or sit in the background against a pale wall. A gold-edged orange cloth hangs behind the seated figure, and a small silver dish is at the right edge. A blue sign reading "Silence please" is on the wall. The seated figure has long swept-back hair, white ash markings on the arms and forehead, and a gold necklace. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a rudraksha mala, gold ceremonial necklace, orange robes and long swept-back hair.

A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long swept-back hair sits on a red and gold throne-like seat, hands folded in namaste, while brass thalis with offerings and fruit sit before a gathered group. Probable Swamiji with long hair and saffron robe, seated on the throne as the receiving figure. Around him, devotees in white and yellow clothing sit cross-legged with hands joined in prayer; a bald man in white with a rudraksha mala kneels near brass plates, and a woman in a yellow shawl and a man in white sit nearby. Orange walls, a potted plant and a blue sign reading 'Silence please' complete the ashram hall setting.

Three people stand with palms pressed together in namaskar at a whitewashed wall decorated with red painted lotus-scroll borders. On the left a woman with hair pulled back wears a white sari with a gold-striped border over a maroon blouse, with a beaded mala around her neck and hands folded near a polished silver kalasha-style vessel on a pedestal decorated with flowers. In the centre a man in an orange kurta with a rudraksha mala and in the right foreground a man in a pink polo shirt with glasses and a red wrist thread also pray with eyes lowered. A blue sign reads Silence please, and marigold garlands hang at the right edge.

A candid photograph of a smiling man with hair tied back in a bun, wearing an orange saffron shawl and a thick ceremonial gold bead necklace, turned toward two people who stand before him with palms pressed together in greeting. A woman in a white top with a dark pink-toned lanyard smiles beside a man in a white and navy polo shirt with gold bracelets. Behind them a blurred background shows a red curtain and other people in white clothing. a person appearance is probable: long hair swept back, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace. The page does not name him at this event, so the identity is appearance-based only.

A satsang-style gathering in an orange-walled hall with a red and gold throne-like seat at left. A man in an orange robe with a long yellow and red floral garland stands with palms pressed together, eyes closed, facing right. Seated devotees around him, mostly in white and yellow shawls, hold anjali mudra; one woman in an orange sari sits at lower right. A brass plate of fruit, flowers and sweets sits on a wooden box beside him, and small brass lamps appear at the lower right. A blue sign on the wall reads Silence please, and a microphone stand stands near the centre. Identity is not established from appearance alone; the standing figure has long swept hair and saffron clothing with a floral garland, but the appearance is not conclusive.
