The figure smiles and extends a hand in blessing toward a kneeling person in white clothes with palms pressed together. Floral garlands of white and orange flowers decorate the throne and surroundings, with a gold-and-red canopy and colourful striped fabric overhead. Behind them, a few men in orange and white stand or sit on the floor, and a pedestal fan sits beside the throne. The setting appears to be a devotional darshan. a person: the seated figure wears orange robes, a long beaded necklace and sits on a ceremonial throne, with long hair visible.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-red robe and a red bindi, with long dark wavy hair, raising one hand in blessing while resting the other hand on the head of an older man kneeling before him. The kneeling man wears a white shirt, white dhoti with a gold border, a white towel draped over his shoulder, and a gold bangle, and bows with his hands pressed to the seated figure's leg. The seated figure sits on an ornate gold throne with repoussé floral carving and a red velvet cushion. Behind them hang yellow, orange and red marigold garlands and green foliage. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a distinctive orange robe, long swept hair and bindi, but the page does not indicate that he is present, so the identity remains uncertain. The scene shows a blessing given to a devotee.

Photo of a festive stage event. A long-haired person in saffron-orange robes with a white-and-red floral garland sits on an ornate throne with a carved white lion-like base, smiling and gesturing with one hand, with a microphone on a stand at the right. Surrounding the throne are heavy garlands of white, yellow, orange and red flowers. In the foreground, a man in a white shirt bends forward toward the seated figure, while a man in white with a yellow shawl and other attendants in white stand behind. Dark blurred silhouettes fill the lower left foreground.

A seated man in orange-saffron robes and a garland of green lime-like fruits and red flowers sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a gilded deity medallion behind him. He has long dark hair, a red tilak on the forehead, and rests one bare foot on a red cushion. A kneeling devotee in a white polo shirt bows with his head before him, while a standing attendant in orange robes and a rudraksha mala gently holds a hand over the devotee's head.

A man in a white kurta and white trousers stands at left, holding the seated man's hand and leaning in close. Flowers in yellow, red and green are visible at the upper left. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron robes, a cue consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.

A photograph of a ceremonial stage decorated with yellow marigold and flower arrangements, with a large golden throne-like seat under a golden umbrella. A man seated on the central throne wears white dhoti-style clothing, a red and white flower garland, and gold necklaces. Around the throne, several people in saffron-orange robes sit on the stage, including a bald man and a bearded man on the left, and two women in orange and red saris on the right. Brass vessels, fruit and lamps sit on a flower-draped platform in front, and a figure in orange with dark hair stands at the bottom edge facing the stage. The scene suggests a puja or birthday celebration.
