A life-size statue in silver-gold finish stands in an ornate gilded shrine niche before a green silk backdrop printed with gold floral motifs. The figure has long black hair, a red-and-white forehead marking, and wears rudraksha mala strands, a red-and-gold sash, and layered jewelled and gold necklaces. Its right hand is raised in abhaya mudra, and a brass oil lamp stands at the left edge.

A life-size silver-toned statue of a long-haired sannyasi stands before a golden ornate arch and an orange-and-gold brocade backdrop with white paisley-like motifs. The figure wears a red-brown saffron-toned wrap, multiple strands of golden beads and a large gold pendant, rudraksha malas across the chest and arms, and a white and red tilak on the forehead. The right hand is raised in abhaya mudra. A depiction of a murti rather than a living person; the statue's figure carries distinctive long hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, though identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

A seated man in a rust-brown robe sits on an ornate gold carved throne with red cushions and a tiger-stripe cloth, before a red curtain. He wears a pink and white flower garland, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold chain, with a forehead tilak. His hands rest in his lap and a small red-and-white cushioned footstool is in front. Gold-framed side panels and a small gold ornament sit to the right. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, gold necklace and saffron-toned robe are the cues.

A smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne with carved floral and scroll patterns, against a red and black zebra-striped cushion. He wears a red and white flower garland, a rudraksha mala, a gold chain necklace, and a brown robe with a gold border. A white vertical tilak and red bindi mark his forehead. His right hand rests on his chest.

A smiling person with shoulder-length dark hair and a red bindi sits before an ornate golden throne-back carved with floral and scrollwork. He wears an orange saffron shawl over the body and a thick white and red garland with a gold necklace of ornaments, and his right arm is extended outward. Probable Swamiji shows long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklaces as cues for the presentation. Loose petals are scattered around him, and the golden throne and floral garlands suggest a felicitation at a satsang.
