A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a garland of marigolds and flowers sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, hands joined in anjali, under a gold canopy. Before the throne, rows of devotees in white clothes and orange shawls sit on a raised red-and-white platform with hands folded, while a woman in white and orange stands at right. Brass and silver puja vessels, bowls of fruit and a kalasha sit on a red cloth in front. Behind them hangs a large printed portrait of a smiling bearded man with long hair, and red-and-yellow flower garlands decorate the side pillars. A satsang or ananda samajam gathering is shown, with a fan and microphone at the sides.

A seated figure in an orange robe with a garland sits with hands pressed in namaste on an ornate gold throne with a small umbrella-like canopy, in front of a large printed portrait of a smiling face with long hair. Devotees in white clothing with orange shawls sit on the floor in rows on both sides, many with hands folded. Brass vessels, fruit, flowers and offerings are placed on a red-and-cream cloth before the throne. Banners with colourful tassels hang at the sides, and a fan stands at the left.

A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-white throne at the centre of a red-draped stage performs namaste with palms pressed together. The seated figure wears an orange saffron robe, a gold crown, and a long red-and-white flower garland around the neck. Behind the throne hangs a large red banner with painted deity imagery, including a multi-armed figure and a swan on a lotus. Three attendants kneel or stand at the foot of the stage: a young man in white with an orange shawl bends over a silver vessel, a woman in a green sari with an orange shawl sits beside brass bowls, and a man in white with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala stands at right. In front are fruit, a silver kalasha-style pot, brass bowls and a bouquet of flowers in cellophane. The scene suggests a puja or abhishekam ceremony.

A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet seat and a gold canopy with hanging leaf ornaments. He wears an orange saffron shawl over his shoulders, a rudraksha mala necklace, and a red-and-white vertical mark on his forehead, with hands resting in his lap. A matching orange-draped figure is a presiding Swamiji (probable) on the peetha: the long hair, ornate saffron clothing and rudraksha mala are visible cues. Golden oil lamps with lit flames and orange and red flower arrangements flank the throne. In front, a golden base holds flower offerings and pink lotus blooms, with incense sticks and a silver plate of offerings. Around the platform, several women in white saris with yellow shawls and a shaven-headed man in white ritual dress sit facing the throne, seen from behind. A backdrop depicts a temple gopuram-style archway with deity imagery.

A stage set for a ceremony with an ornate golden throne with a red cushioned seat and a golden canopy at centre. A man with long dark hair, wearing a red garment and a beaded necklace of orange-red beads, sits on the throne with hands resting in his lap. Before him on an orange cloth sit several people in white ritual clothes: a man in white dhoti, women in white saris with yellow and pink borders, and seated devotees. At left a man in an orange robe with a beaded necklace sits beside a microphone stand and a small table. Brass oil lamps stand on each side, and a large backdrop shows a painted temple gateway with pillars and sculpted figures. Dark blue curtains frame the stage.

A seated figure in orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions in front of a large painted temple backdrop with pillars and deity figures. Devotees in white and cream clothes sit on the floor with hands joined in namaskar, some wearing green and yellow shawls. Brass plates with fruit and offerings rest on a rug before the throne. The scene resembles a satsang or darshan setting. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing with distinctive rudraksha adornments, which is consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable).
