Photograph of a stage event with a seated man in orange robes and a white flower garland, one hand raised mid-gesture as he speaks, seated in an ornate golden peetha-style throne with carved dark wood trim. A microphone stand stands before him and a small paper sheet rests on the armrest. In front of the throne, a second person in orange robes lies prostrate with forehead to the floor, hands folded, on a blue mat beside a small gold cushion. Behind them hang dark red velvet curtains, and a projection screen and a staircase railing are visible at left. The seated man is an appearance-based a person candidate: long swept-back dark hair, saffron robes and a garland, seated on a throne while being honoured. The prostrate devotee is in orange.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long rudraksha mala and long swept-back hair sits smiling on an ornate orange upholstered throne-like chair, his bare feet being touched by a man in a white shirt and jeans who bends forward at the front. Behind the throne stands a second man in orange robes with a wristwatch, and a red velvet curtain forms the backdrop. A small side table holds a tray with apples, flower petals and a water bottle, and a microphone stand is at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala match the appearance cues, and the scene shows a devotee performing padapuja.

A photograph of a satsang stage with orange draped floor cloths and a gold-carved ornate throne at left. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti kneels at left, offering a brass plate of green leaves with his hands outstretched. Seated on an orange cushioned chair at centre-right is a person with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe, a rudraksha mala and a gold-coloured ceremonial necklace, smiling as he receives the offering. A framed portrait above him shows a seated figure in orange robes with a mala. A microphone stand stands at right and a water bottle sits on a side table. A small brass vessel rests on the floor. Two people are physically present.

A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with a long orange shawl and a wooden bead necklace sits on a gold upholstered throne with carved black armrests, smiling, with long dark hair swept back and a red bindi. A man in a white kurta kneels before the throne on the stage, clasping the seated figure's hand and offering something. A second man in orange kneels to the left wearing a garland, and another orange-clad attendant stands behind. Marigold flowers lie on the stage, and a microphone stand stands at right against a pastel painted backdrop. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and a bead necklace, a Swamiji (probable) cue, presented as the honoured figure on the throne.

A photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes on a large white cushioned throne-like seat in front of dark red velvet drapery. He has short dark hair, a red bindi, and is smiling with his right arm extended toward a standing man at left. The standing man, shown from behind-left with long dark hair and a beard, wears an orange robe and holds a small object in his hand, reaching toward the seated figure. White bolster pillows, a microphone on a stand, and green foliage with flowers appear on the stage. A Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam style meditation-programme setting; the seated figure is an appearance-based a person candidate, identified by his saffron clothing and central seated position on the throne.

A seated man in a saffron-orange robe with a red-and-white bindi sits on a golden-yellow upholstered armchair with black carved wooden armrests and two round cushions, on a stage before a deep red draped curtain. A microphone on a stand is angled toward him, and a small table with water bottles stands at left. His bare feet rest on a white platform with a red cloth. Beside him, a bespectacled older man in white shirt and white dhoti sits on a plain black chair with his hands clasped. The page identifies the event as a December 2009 gathering, but the image itself shows only the stage setup and these two seated men.

The figure wears orange saffron robes, a draped orange shawl, a long gold-beaded necklace and a small red-and-yellow forehead mark, with long swept-back dark hair. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a gold beaded necklace, seated in the central position of honour. A kneeling man in a white kurta leans forward to hand a small printed card or paper to the seated figure, while a younger man in orange with long hair and a gold necklace kneels to the left. A microphone stands on a stand at the right of the throne, and a painted backdrop of pale pink and orange hues fills the background.

A long-haired man with a sandalwood-marked forehead, wearing a saffron-orange robe, rudraksha-style beaded necklace and gold chain, sits smiling on an orange cushioned throne with black carved armrests, his bare feet resting on a low orange footstool. A man in a white kurta kneels before the throne, bending forward with hands joined, while a second man in orange clothing with a beaded necklace sits behind on the left. Pale draped curtains hang at the left edge and a microphone stand stands at the right. The honoured figure on the throne matches the page's a person reference through his long hair, orange robe and beaded necklace, though the appearance cues are only moderately distinctive.
