A photograph from a stage event with a golden ornate throne set against a backdrop of decorated deity murtis and gold-framed arches. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant sits cross-legged on a brown leather throne with gold lion-head armrests, gesturing with one raised hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gold pendant, with a red shawl draped over the body). Before him a man in a white shirt and white trousers, with a red shawl over his shoulders, bends forward to greet him, and a woman in a red sari with a red-and-orange shawl and bindi stands to the left smiling. A man in a red shirt stands behind them. Flowers in pink and white sit at the right edge.

A seated man in orange and saffron robes, with a red and orange turban, wears a white flower garland and sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions. Devotees in white garments and orange shawls sit on the red-draped floor, several with hands folded or bent in reverence. In the foreground a devotee bathes or washes his feet over a tray, in a pada puja setting. A red-curtained tent-like room, a spear-like staff and a potted plant complete the scene.

In front, a man in a white shirt and dark trousers sits with head bowed, while several women in white and orange saris and cream attire sit on red carpet around him, some with hands in prayer, amid brass plates and flower offerings. A banner of a bird emblem and a painted temple scene is behind. a person is the throned figure, identified by his rudraksha mala, trident and orange robes.

A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne is the central subject, wearing an orange-saffron robe, a multicolour flower garland with marigolds and white blooms, a rudraksha mala, gold armlets and a red tilak on the forehead. Beside the throne a silver trident stands upright. In the foreground, several people in orange sashes and white clothing are seated on the floor, one holding a brass thali; a woman in white with an orange shawl tends a silver tray on the right. Behind the throne a backdrop shows a fiery image of a figure raising a vessel, and sepia architectural photographs. The scene resembles a satsang or ritual gathering. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments.

A photo of a paada pooja in a wood-panelled hall with gold-framed ornate chairs. A seated figure on a gold throne with a red cushion wears a saffron-orange garment and a long swept-back hairstyle; a saffron shawl drapes the shoulders, and a person is seated there. Behind the throne, a golden deity murti with garlands and a gold crown sits beneath a green canopy, with yellow and purple flowers in front. Around the throne, devotees in saffron and white sit on the floor offering flowers and brass vessels, with a woman in green kneeling near the throne.
