A photograph of a stage event with ornate gold and red decor. A bald man in orange robes with a long white-and-gold beaded necklace and rudraksha-style mala stands centre-left. On the right, a figure in a red-orange turban and saffron robes raises a hand toward a seated person, and a golden lion-head ornament is in the foreground. On the left, a man in a white dhoti-style outfit and orange shawl stands with palms pressed together in namaskar, and another man in white with a red-orange striped shawl stands beside him. A marigold garland hangs in the background and a tray of flowers sits below.

Photograph inside a decorated temple tent with green lighting and a golden prabhavali behind a deity murti adorned with silver ornaments. A man in an orange-saffron turban and orange-saffron robe with a white-and-orange flower garland and rudraksha mala stands at centre-right, smiling. A man with his back to the camera, wearing a saffron-orange cloth, faces him from the foreground. Other men with shaved heads and rudraksha malas stand at left, and a tall tassel-and-flower decoration hangs at top centre. The man in the turban shows distinctive saffron and rudraksha cues, so this is a probable Swamiji in person; the ritual setting suggests a puja or darshan.

A photograph of a red-carpeted stage inside a temple-like hall with gold-framed chairs and brass ritual lamps. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing orange-saffron robes and a gold-toned neck garland, sits on a gold throne-style seat smiling as he hands an object to a devotee. Around him, a woman in an orange sari and several men stand and sit: one bare-chested man in white dhoti with a dark rudraksha-style mala and gold pendant, a man in a white kurta, a man in a white cap and striped shirt, and a shaved-headed priest in orange with a rudraksha mala. Background shows tiers of small white figurines and a microphone stand with stage lighting.

A photograph inside a decorated ritual hall with a maroon backdrop, silver-toned ornate shrine structures and a multicoloured canopy. A bare-chested man with a red turban and gold chain stands centre-left, a red-orange shawl draped over his shoulders, reaching toward the shrine area. Next to him, a man in white dhoti and red shawl stands with a silver staff. On the right, an elderly white-bearded man in orange robes with white tilak and a bead necklace presses his palms together, beside a figure in orange and another in pink cloth. Two deity murti sit on the shrine in garlands, one in blue and red. Brass lamp stands and a tall orange cloth panel fill the frame.

Photograph inside a brightly lit temple shrine with ornate white and gold carved walls and a large deity murti or deities in the background. Central figure seated on an ornate golden throne with a circular gold backrest. He wears an orange-saffron turban, orange robes, a shawl, and multiple gold necklaces, and is smiling. Surrounding him are several people in orange and saffron clothing, some wearing rudraksha malas, with one holding a bundle of bananas or fruit. A woman with a kumkum-marked face stands at right in red and gold clothing, and a figure with a dark dreadlocked turban and beads is at right foreground. Colourful tiered red, green, yellow and white decorations flank the shrine. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in the golden throne, wearing a saffron turban, orange robes and gold necklaces, and he appears to be receiving offerings.
