A seated figure in rust-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits smiling on an ornate golden throne with a large pink lotus backdrop and a painted trident in the upper right. A bare-headed attendant in saffron wrap on the left holds a tiered brass aarti lamp stand lit with oil lamps. Around the throne, several women in white and red-bordered saris, one in a green shawl, and a man in white kneel and sit, some holding small brass lamps and plates. Brass oil lamps are set on a blue floor in the foreground. A large trident and a cityscape painting complete the setting, consistent with an aarti or puja ceremony.

A photograph inside a gilded interior with a black wall, brass hanging bells and an air conditioner. A man with a shaved-looking head and a red tilak sits on an ornate gold throne draped with a tiger-striped cloth, wearing a long red garland, gold necklaces, a saffron-orange dhoti-style cloth with a yellow border, and gold armlets. He is smiling. Before him on the floor, a woman in a light green sari and a woman in a white top sit near silver trays of flowers, red blossoms, fruit and offerings, while a woman in a white-striped forehead mark and red-and-maroon garment kneels nearby. Another man in a white shirt stands behind the throne and a person's head is visible at the bottom edge. Ritual puja offerings are arranged in front of the throne.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe and orange turban with a white ornament, wearing a long gold-pendant necklace over a brown rudraksha mala, sitting on a red cushioned throne with ornate gold carved backrest. He smiles and extends his right hand to a kneeling man in a white striped shirt who bows with an orange cloth draped over his head. Behind them stand a man in a white dhoti with a red-and-white forehead mark and a rudraksha mala, and a bespectacled man with white tilak in the background. Red curtains and a gold carved throne backdrop complete the scene.

A seated man in an orange-red robe and a gold-tinted sash sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, holding a silver staff with a trident-like top in his right hand and making a hand gesture in front of his chest. A painted backdrop of a stylised temple city glows orange and pink behind him. A video camera on a tripod stands at the left edge. Several people in white and red-orange clothes sit on the floor in front of the throne, some with their heads bowed or hands folded, including a woman in a white dress with a beaded mala and a woman in a red sari. Orange scarves and garlands are visible on some of those seated. The setting looks like a satsang with the seated figure in the central role.

A seated man in a maroon-red robe and matching shawl sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with a red cushion, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold chain, with a white sandalwood mark on his forehead and a red bindi. Beside him, an older woman in a pale pink patterned sari with a grey bun kneels and bows with palms pressed together in anjali. A carved wooden box and a folded red cloth sit in the foreground. The setting is a decorated hall with blue and white painted panels.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate golden throne carved with a lion head, bordered by garlands of yellow and red flowers and hanging brass bells. Four people sit on the floor before him: a woman in a yellow sari and a woman in red with rudraksha beads, a young person in white with glasses, and a shaved-head person in a white top at the left edge. Silver and gold trays hold red hibiscus flowers, white blossoms and small oil lamps. The figure on the throne is a person, identified by the saffron robes, the long rudraksha mala and the throne setting, and is labelled in_person.

A seated figure in orange and rust robes with a white flower garland and gold armlets sits on a red and leopard-print cushioned seat, pouring from a terracotta pot into a metal dish held by a kneeling elderly man in white clothing with a brown beaded necklace. Behind them, women in orange and rust saffron robes with rudraksha malas hold a tray of white offerings, and a decorated gold-and-floral deity murti stands on a red carpeted floor beside a blue patterned backdrop with a fan. This appears to be a padapuja-style ritual. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and saffron-orange clothing with ceremonial gold ornaments, a cue combination consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so the appearance-based label applies.
