Indoors, a man with a shaved head and white tripundra markings sits on a red upholstered seat, wearing a rust-red robe, a garland of white flowers with blue and yellow ribbons, and a long rudraksha mala across his chest. He smiles and reaches toward a man in a bright orange polo shirt kneeling before him, who holds a small red object in his hands. Behind them, a woman in an orange sari with a long rudraksha mala and a white forehead mark watches, with another woman and a man in orange robes standing nearby against a deep red curtain. Four people are visible in the scene.

A crowded indoor photo of a house visit with a seated man in a red-orange robe and dark rudraksha mala at right, smiling and holding oranges in both hands. Around him, devotees press close: a man at left in a white shirt with layered red and orange garlands, a woman in an orange sari holding oranges, an elderly man in white, several women in saris, a child in a yellow top, and two shaved-headed monks in orange robes with rudraksha malas. A white air cooler stands behind them and a silver-handled object is held at upper right.

A photograph of a ceremonial darshan scene. A seated figure on a red and gold throne wears an orange-brown turban, an orange robe with a dark brown shawl, and a garland of white and pink flowers, with long hair falling down. Probable Swamiji is seated at the left, with his cues being the orange turban, ornate robe and garland of flowers on the throne. Devotees in saffron, orange and red clothing reach forward to touch or offer to him beside a gold trident-shaped ritual object in the foreground. A woman in an orange and gold sari and a young woman in white and purple stand nearby, and a camera on a tripod is visible in the background.

A photograph from a seated programme in a hall. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair, a gold-yellow forehead mark, a gold necklace, rudraksha mala beads across the chest and wrist bands sits on a wooden throne-like chair beside a tall silver staff, smiling as a woman in white reaches toward them. Two women in front, one in orange and one in a floral blue top, lean in. Men in orange, white and blue shirts and rudraksha mala sit among the audience behind, with a microphone stand visible at left. The figure's appearance with long hair, rudraksha malas and gold necklace is a distinctive presentation cue, so this is a person seated on the peetha and the people are devotees receiving a blessing.
