A photograph of a seated puja in an indoor hall with a gold-and-red throne on the left. A man in a grey-purple dhoti with an orange turban, gold necklaces and bangles sits on the red-cushioned dais, with a probable Swamiji appearance by his orange turban, ornate gold ornaments and gold-trimmed saffron shawl. Seated on the floor before him, devotees hold palms together in prayer beside gold trays of fruit, flowers and oil lamps. A woman in a red sari and gold necklace sits in the centre, a woman in a red-bordered white sari kneels near the trays, and a man in white shirt has his hands folded. A small child sits among the group, and a woman in orange and a man in white stand at the rear. Floral garlands drape a deity murti and the throne at the upper left.

Indoor ritual gathering in a room with red curtains and a pale wall. A man seated on a red cushioned throne at right wears a magenta turban, saffron and gold ornate clothing, a gold necklace and armbands, and is smiling while gesturing with his hands; a person by appearance, placed on the throne. Around a low spread of offerings and brass plates, several devotees sit with palms pressed in anjali: a woman in an orange shawl, a man in white with glasses, a woman in white with a light wrap, and others in orange and cream clothing. A man in white at the back wears a white dhoti. A standing fan and a small potted plant are visible.

A seated figure in an orange-red turban, saffron-orange robes, a long gold necklace and a gold ornamental pendant, wrist bangles and earrings, reaches out to touch the forehead of a kneeling man in white with an orange-red shawl whose hands are pressed together in greeting. A brown leather throne-style chair and a tall gold staff stand beside them. Around them, many seated and standing women in white and orange-red shawls sit on the floor of a hall with patterned gold-and-purple wall panels, and a white-haired man in white stands in the background. The kneeling man in white receives the touch at the forehead.

A seated man on an ornate golden throne with a red cushion wears an orange turban and an orange-and-pink flower garland, with a rudraksha bracelet on his wrist and a saffron shawl draped over him. Around him, devotees sit on a blue floor in white, saffron and red shawls, several holding brass plates of flowers and offerings, including a man in white and a woman in a white sari with a red-bordered shawl. A tall silver trident stands beside the throne, and a second golden throne sits empty in the background. The appearance-based candidate on the throne has long swept-back hair, a turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a satsang-style gathering.

A seated figure on a gold-and-cream throne with a gilded lion-head armrest, wearing a rust-orange turban, rust-orange shawl and dhoti, and a long rudraksha-style mala, appears to be a depiction of a statue or wax-like figure rather than a live person; the figure's green-tinted skin and stillness suggest a statue. Around a gold-edged table, several devotees in white kurtas, orange and purple saris sit before brass thalis holding flowers, red fruit and lamps, with one man in white and a woman in purple placing offerings. Bells and a hanging brass lamp hang above, with a gold oil lamp at left and a carved wooden door behind. A bald figure in the foreground watches. This appears to be a puja and padapuja-style offering scene in an ashram room.

A photograph of a temple courtyard with a man seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a rudraksha mala and long dark hair swept back.

Several devotees kneel or sit on the floor around a low gold table holding brass plates, fruit and offering trays, and a woman holds incense sticks with smoke rising. One man in white dhoti and shawl with a bare upper body holds a brass vessel. Women in cream, orange, and yellow-green saris and a young woman with a blue hair tie sit among them. Behind the throne, a deity murti is adorned with yellow and purple garlands, and brass lamps stand on the altar. The walls behind are painted orange with red and white stripes, and a red curtain hangs at the side. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne, identified by the saffron robe, rudraksha mala and long swept-back hair.
