Outdoors on a lawn beneath a thatched pergola, a man in a white shirt and white trousers bends forward and performs padapuja, washing the bare feet of a seated figure. The seated man has long dark hair, a rudraksha mala with a large central bead, and is wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with a yellow-orange cloth draped over the chair arm. Wicker chairs and green shrubs surround them. A probable Swamiji cues include the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, and he is receiving the padapuja as the devotee in white attends his feet.

Outdoors on a lawn under a thatched straw pavilion, a man in a white short-sleeved shirt and white trousers bends forward and gestures toward a seated person. The seated person wears an orange-saffron robe draped over the shoulders, a long rudraksha-style bead mala, and an orange wrap hanging from the chair, and has long swept-back dark hair, smiling and gesturing with raised hands. Wicker chairs, a small round wicker table, yellow lilies and green shrubbery surround them.

Outdoors under a corrugated metal canopy with palm trees behind, a man in a rust-red and gold-bordered dhoti and shawl stands on a raised red-draped platform, smiling and placing his right hand on the bowed head of a devotee in a teal shirt who kneels with palms pressed together. The standing man wears a long ornate gold necklace and a white tilak on his forehead. Nearby, saffron-clad attendants and devotees in white shirts with red shawls and rudraksha malas stand watching. A small ornate kalasha-style decoration appears in the background.

A photo of a seated man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and white forehead markings, smiling as he receives an offering from a young boy in white clothes kneeling before him on a green mat. The boy holds a small gold-wrapped object in cupped hands near the seated man's hands. A red and gold padded cushion sits behind him, and scattered gold wrapper-like pieces lie on the green mat and a red footmat near his bare feet. Several standing people in white attire and orange shawls watch in the background, along with a figure in a grey suit at the left edge.

Outdoors on a reddish dirt path beneath green trees, a long-haired man in a saffron-orange robe and wearing a white-and-red flower garland and rudraksha mala smiles and raises a hand in greeting. An older man in a white shirt and white dhoti bends forward to offer respect, holding a bouquet of red flowers. Behind them, a woman in a white sari holds a flower-decorated tray and a bare-legged man in white stands nearby, while a red and blue flag on a pole and a tasselled canopy appear at the top right.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a red and white flower garland and a red mark on the forehead, sits on an orange-draped raised seat in front of a shrine with brass lamps, kalasha pots and flower offerings. A kneeling elderly man in a white shirt and light dhoti bows forward with his hands together before the seated figure's bare feet, which rest on a brown mat. Behind them are colourful deity statues in blue and green and purple cloth. A tray of fruit sits at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, saffron robes and a garland, matching the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable in-person appearance. Padapuja-style reverence is visible.

A seated figure in orange saffron robes with long dark hair falling past the shoulders sits on a white cushioned chair with gold-bordered cloth draped over its back, a silver-topped walking cane leaning beside him. A devotee in a white t-shirt bows deeply, pressing his forehead to the seated figure's feet while the seated figure smiles and rests a hand near the devotee. Behind them an older bearded man in an orange shawl smiles, and a microphone stand stands at left against a carved stone wall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, a darshan scene where he receives a devotee's pranam.
