A photograph of a ceremony on a stage. A figure in orange robes with long dark hair sits barefoot on an ornate gold throne with red cushion, leaning forward to place hands on the head of a young boy in white shirt and dark trousers. Around them, men in white dhotis and shirts stand smiling, one older man with white hair in white dhoti on the left, another in white with a rudraksha-style necklace beside the boy. White and orange floral garlands decorate the throne backdrop, with a red heart-shaped floral piece and a blue and white banner behind. Rose petals scatter the floor and a microphone stands in front of the throne.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on a red cushioned golden throne decorated with a garland of white, pink and red flowers. He is leaning forward, touching a small boy in a yellow shirt who stands before him. To the left, adult devotees in white shirts and trousers stand watching, and to the right a woman in a light blue sari stands beside a woman in an orange patterned sari holding a small child. The background is a bright yellow and red stage. a person is indicated by the saffron robes, the ornate throne and the garland-decorated seat. Total visible physical people: about 7.

A carved gold throne-like seat is visible, and a bouquet sits on the golden table. Swamiji candidate is the right-hand figure, identified by long hair, orange clothing, a flower garland and a gold-adorned setting; appearance is consistent but not fully certain.

A photograph of a stage event with a seated man in saffron-orange robes on a gilded throne with red cushions, long hair, rudraksha-style beads and a garland of red and white flowers draped over his shoulders and across the cushioned platform. A young boy in white and yellow stands at his side. A woman in white sari with gold border bends forward to touch his feet, while a man in white dhoti and shirt leans in and another woman in white sari with gold border stands behind. A woman in a pale green sari and a man in striped shirt watch from the edges. Gold-trimmed red and white floral decorations and a yellow sunburst backdrop surround the throne.

A photograph of a Guru Poornima padapuja-style gathering in a decorated hall. A long-haired man in saffron robes and a gold necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold lion-figure at its base, smiling, his feet being attended. Before him a woman in a grey-haired bun and white sari with gold border kneels and bends forward, hands near his feet. Standing behind are devotees: a woman in white with a blue-patterned shawl and folded hands, an older man in white with a grey beard and rudraksha-style pendant, a young boy in beige kurta with folded hands, and a woman in a red shawl. A man in orange shawl and white kurta holds a silver vessel at right. Marigold and white jasmine garlands drape the throne and the decorated backdrop.

Photograph of a seated man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron robe, a multicoloured flower garland and a rudraksha-style bead mala, touching the forehead of a young boy in a white sleeveless top who stands before him. Beside him stands a bespectacled man in orange robes, an orange turban and a gold ceremonial necklace, looking on. The seated figure is on a gold-decorated throne with a cream cushion and a red pillow, backed by green foliage and pink and orange flowers. A microphone is visible at right. The scene reads as a blessing or padapuja-type darshan moment, though the figure's identity cannot be determined from appearance alone.

A photograph of a padapuja-style ritual in a decorated room with gold-embossed panels and floral garlands in red, pink and white. A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair wears saffron-orange robes, a layered garland of red, yellow, purple and white flowers, and a white flower garland, with rose petals scattered around. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti-style trousers bends forward, holding the hand of a young boy in a colourful floral shirt and jeans who is offering something at the seated figure's feet. A standing man in orange robes with a gold chain and a shaved head watches, and a person in white traditional dress stands at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's long hair, saffron robes and ornate garland match the qualifying cues, and the page attributes the event to him.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair swept back and a rudraksha mala draped across the chest sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, extending a hand toward a small boy in white. A standing man in white shirt and trousers bends forward with a garland around his neck, while a young child in white holds a small object toward the seated figure. Their feet rest on a red cushion scattered with flower petals. A devotee in saffron sits cross-legged at lower right, and a woman in a cream sari with a gold border stands at left. Setting appears to be a room with cream walls and a small table with books and fruit. The seated figure is labelled a person based on the saffron robes, long hair, rudraksha mala and gilded throne; this is an appearance-based label only.
