A photograph of a ritual exchange. On the left, a person with swept-back dark hair, wearing a rust-red turban, a gold-and-beaded necklace, gold bangles and an orange-gold shawl, leans forward and hands an apple to an older man in a white shirt and dark trousers seated on the right. Between them sits a shaved-headed man in a rust-orange wrap with a rudraksha mala and glasses. In front is a tray of red apples, slices of a sweet, and green leaves. Warm lamplight glows in the background. The left figure's distinctive turban, ornate beads and shawl are probable cues for a person, shown as a devotee-offering scene.

A seated figure on a golden throne wears a red-orange turban, ornate beaded necklaces, and a saffron-and-gold wrap, extending bare hands forward to receive offerings. Before them a man in a grey-blue collared shirt kneels and holds out fruit in cupped palms. Behind, a shaved-headed attendant in a red-orange robe with a vertical tilak and rudraksha mala sits beside a gold-framed throne, with standing attendants in red and gold clothing and a brass lamp beside them. This is a devotional darshan with fruit offering. The seated figure matches the appearance cues of Swamiji (probable): red turban, ornate gold and beaded adornment, saffron wrap, being honoured on a throne.

Photo of a satsang on a gilded throne. A seated figure in a rust-red turban, saffron-orange and gold-bordered cloth, and long layered beaded necklaces smiles and hands a green mango to a kneeling man in a light grey collared shirt, who holds out both palms to receive it. Behind them, a woman in a dark teal and maroon sari presses her palms together, and a woman in pink stands near a tall silver staff. A green leafy plant and fruit sit at the side, and a man in white stands in the background. The figure has distinctive turban and beaded-necklace cues consistent with the page, so the identity is a probable match.

A seated figure in a deep red turban and red garment, adorned with layered gold and white flower garlands, a rudraksha-style bead necklace and gold bangles, smiles while extending a red apple to a kneeling devotee in the foreground. A woman in white with a red-and-gold shawl stands behind a young man in a white shirt who bows toward the seated figure. Another person in white with a dark shawl sits at lower right, holding fruit. Bowls of apples sit on a red cloth on a platform, with yellow flowers, palm fronds and a large gold-framed throne behind. The setting appears to be a ceremonial padapuja or darshan.

A photograph inside a decorated hall with red walls and a large gold throne at left. A seated figure in a rust-red turban, red-orange robes with gold trim, a coral bead necklace and gold ornaments and a gold bangle sits on the throne, extending his hand toward a kneeling older man in a white shirt with an orange shawl, who holds out a red apple. Behind them stand a bald priest in orange robes with gold trim and a rudraksha mala, a seated monk in orange with a headband, and several women in white, pink and red saris looking on. Apples lie in the foreground and a brass lamp stands at right. Appearance cues for the seated figure (turban, coral beads, gold ornaments) fit the a person label, though the frame gives no firm identification.

A seated woman in a rust-orange turban and saffron-orange robe with a gold-bordered shawl, wearing layered rudraksha and gold bead necklaces and bangles, smiles while extending her hand toward a kneeling man in a red-orange shawl who offers a small round reddish object cupped in his palms. Behind them a bald man with a vibhuti line on his forehead, wearing glasses, a brown rudraksha mala and an orange-gold cloth, sits attentively. A gold-carved throne stands at left, brass oil lamps sit on a table, and a white-clothed figure and a standing attendant in orange and gold appear in the background before a red curtain.
