A photograph of a central figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a deep red cushioned back, decorated with garlands of white, yellow and red-pink flowers and flower petals on the seat. The seated man wears an orange saffron wrap, a white-and-green-and-red flower garland, and a rudraksha mala, and holds a wooden staff; he has long swept-back hair and smiles with eyes closed. Flanking him, a young man in white kurta with an orange shawl and dark beaded mala stands on the left, while women in white saris with gold borders and mala beads clap and offer flowers on the right. Two physical people are clearly standing beside the throne, and several more partially visible people stand behind.

Behind them stand saffron-robed attendants and a red and white backdrop.

Photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with a deep red cushioned back and blue seat cushion, wearing an orange saffron robe and a red and white flower garland, with a red bindi on his forehead and long dark hair. Two devotees bow before him: on the left an older man in a white shirt with palms pressed together in namaste, and on the right a woman in a pink and white sari bending forward. Two golden kalasha-style pots flank the throne base. Behind is a pink and silver draped backdrop. The page identifies this as Swamiji with a paduka yatra event; the appearance cues of long hair, saffron robe and ceremonial garland are consistent with the page claim, so the candidate is marked probable.

A seated man in saffron robes with a rudraksha mala and a white and red flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red cushion, raising his hand in a blessing gesture while smiling. Around him, several young men in white ceremonial dhotis and cream kurtas with orange shawls stand and clap, one holding a pink gift box. Marigold and red flower garlands decorate the throne back, and a gold lion figure sits at the base. A dark backdrop hangs behind the group. The person on the throne matches the appearance cues of the a person candidate with saffron robes, rudraksha mala and garland, so this is a probable identification, present in person.

A person in orange-saffron robes with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with white and red flowers and garlands. Two men in white clothes stand nearby, one in a white shirt and one in white dhoti-style attire, with a woman in a gold-embroidered sari at the right edge. Fruits and offerings are arranged on a table in front. The seated person has an appearance-based candidate match with several cues (long swept-back hair, saffron robe, throne), so this is a person in person, seated and being honoured.

A photograph of a seated man in orange saffron robes on an ornate gold throne with carved floral and scrollwork backrest. He wears a thick red and white garland and has long dark hair. A younger man in a white kurta stands before him, clasping hands in greeting. Behind them hang red and white fabric backdrops. At left, a partially visible man in an orange shawl and white clothes stands nearby. Two people are visible in the scene. The seated man shows distinctive long swept hair, saffron clothing and a garland, matching the page's account of the event, so he is a person seated in a ceremonial role receiving a devotee.

A photograph of a satsang in an ashram hall. In the foreground, a young man with curly dark hair, wearing a white shirt and a rudraksha mala, sits with palms pressed together in namaste, facing a seated man in orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a gold chain, who gestures with one raised hand and smiles. The seated man has long dark hair and a white forehead mark. Behind them, a second figure in orange robes and a saffron turban sits on a gold-and-red throne decorated with a floral garland. A partially visible person in orange clothing sits at the far left edge. Swamiji (probable): the orange-robed man with long hair, rudraksha mala and gold chain is seated in the foreground, and the page identifies him as present at this satsang.

A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange saffron garment and layered floral garlands seated on an ornate gold throne with cushions, extending one hand toward a young boy in a white shirt who stands before him. Behind them are gold-embossed panels, green floral arches with red and orange blossoms, and a gold deity relief. Two older men in white clothing stand at the left, one with an orange head wrap. Gold ritual setting with garlands suggests a darshan or blessing moment.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with floral garlands of pink and yellow flowers. The seated man wears an orange robe and a pink and multicoloured garland, long dark hair, and is smiling with one hand extended. In front, a young boy in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala bows with hands folded near the throne's gilded base, while an older man in orange robes bends forward with palms pressed together. Behind them, a man in orange wears a head covering, and at the far left another man in white with a yellow garland stands. Flower arrangements in green, red and orange frame the throne. The throne is a devotional darshan setting. Swamiji appearance is a probable match based on the long hair, orange robe and garlands on the seated figure.
