A photograph of a stage decorated with marigold and red flower garlands along its front edge, with a black curtain at left. Four seated and standing saffron-robed sannyasis dominate the stage. A man in saffron robes with an orange head covering stands at right holding a microphone and speaking, with a paper in his other hand. Seated figures wear orange turbans and saffron robes; a bald monk in saffron stands beside the speaker. A man in white kurta holds papers at right, and a camera operator films from the right edge. The white wall behind has a ceiling fan and grilled windows.

Three people sit side by side on white plastic chairs in front of a dark blue backdrop and a red curtain at the edge. On the left, a person in an orange shawl and rudraksha mala smiles. In the centre, a smiling man wears an orange shawl over white clothes and holds a microphone. On the right, a man in a white kurta with a rudraksha mala looks down, his hands clasped. The setting looks like a stage or seminar hall during a healer training session.

A stage event before a dark red velvet curtain. A central figure sits in a cream-upholstered chair with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe with a tiger-stripe patterned shawl over the shoulders and a gold-coloured cloth, speaking into a stand microphone; this central figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ornate shawl) and is seated as the speaker. Beside and in front of him are about seven other seated people: on the left an orange-robed person with a saffron head wrap, a man in white with an orange shawl and white dhoti, and a person in orange sari-like wrap; on the right men in white shirts and white dhotis, one with a rudraksha-style mala, holding papers. Scattered flower petals lie on the floor, a green cable runs across the stage, and a fan and framed portrait stand at left.

Indoor stage event with a deep red curtain backdrop, a white wall-mounted air conditioner and a tall green and orange floral decoration at right. A seated man in white with a rudraksha mala and tilak speaks into a handheld microphone while gesturing with one hand, flanked by another seated man in white and yellow-bordered dhoti. Centre, a figure in saffron-orange robes with a long garland and ornate gold-and-white adornments sits on a gold-framed throne flanked by golden lion figures; the page identifies this as a person, but the appearance cues are insufficient to confirm it. A woman in a red sari sits beside him, and a standing man in a white kurta holds a microphone and faces the seated group. Brass kalasha vessels sit on the stage.
