A photograph of a padapuja ritual in a decorated hall. A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions and smiles as he extends his bare feet. A man in a pale peach shirt and cream trousers, wearing glasses, bends forward to wash the feet with water poured from a small vessel. Another man in saffron robes stands behind on the left with his hands folded at his chest. Brass and silver ritual vessels and small lamps sit on a tray below, with a red and gold backdrop behind them.

A man in white kurta and dhoti stands barefoot before an ornate golden throne with a golden canopy and lion-armrest details, reaching to clasp hands with a seated figure in sleeveless saffron-orange robes with long dark hair swept back. The seated figure rests bare feet on a gold footstool with velvet cushions, and a red-and-gold textile hangs at the right edge. Behind them a banner reads Paramahamsa, with potted palms against a white wall. A partially visible person in white stands at the far left and another person is faintly visible in the background.

A seated man in an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing an orange saffron robe and draped orange garment, a long gold chain with a large gold pendant and a second gold beaded necklace, long swept-back dark hair, and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead. He smiles and extends one hand toward a man standing at left in a white kurta with palms pressed together in namaste. Garlands of red and white flowers lie at the base of the throne. Gold-threaded blue drapery forms the backdrop, with a microphone visible at right.

A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate gold throne decorated with red and white flower garlands and striped red cushions. He smiles and gestures with raised open palms while an older man in a white shirt and grey trousers leans in toward him, hands extended, wearing a red wristband. To the right, a younger man with long swept-back hair and an orange garment rests his chin on his hand. Behind them hangs a painted cloth backdrop with pale stylised tree and branch motifs. Visible identity cues include long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a ceremonial throne, consistent with Swamiji (probable) seated as the honoured guest.

A photo of a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless robe and smiling broadly, reaching out to clasp hands with a standing middle-aged man in a peach-colored shirt and light trousers, wearing glasses. Behind them a second man in saffron robes stands. A small side table holds fruit, a water bottle and silver items, and red draped fabric and a gold-patterned pillar form the backdrop. Appearance-based label: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne in saffron robes with long swept-back hair and a distinctive reception gesture.

A photograph inside a small pavilion with red and green curtains and a white plastic chair at left. A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions wears an orange-saffron robe and a long white and red flower garland, with dark swept hair. He extends his right hand toward a standing man in a white shirt and light trousers who holds a small brass-coloured dish or offering. Beside the throne are gold lion-form arm supports and a small table with a gold tray and a shallow bowl. At lower left an elderly man in white bends low, touching his head to the floor in obeisance. Pink and green floor mats lie on the ground. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person by his orange robe, garland and throne, so the desc is labelled accordingly. Three people are visible.
