A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red robe garlanded with thick strands of white jasmine and pink and red roses, wearing a decorated white and pink crown. He is smiling while women in saris offer him fruit and flowers. A bare-chested man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands at left with hands joined. A woman in a rust-red sari with folded hands stands behind, and a woman in a white sari with gold border smiles at right beside a child in pink. Open cardboard boxes of rose petals sit beside him on an orange draped table, with an orange and red backdrop and standing fans. The seated man wears a crown and garlands; a person candidate by visible cues of crown, garlands and rudraksha-adorned setting, but identity is uncertain.

A seated man with a long beard and a ceremonial crown decorated with white and pink flowers sits on a rust-orange cushion, wearing a rust-orange robe and heavy garlands of white jasmine, red roses, pink blossoms and yellow marigolds. Around him, several women in white and cream saris with gold borders stand and kneel; one in pink sits beside him, a woman in a dark green sari with pink blouse holds her palms together, and a girl in pink watches. A small wooden box filled with pink petals and a green fruit sit near him, with a television and cardboard boxes behind. Another man in a white shirt with a rudraksha mala photographs the scene.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne draped with yellow, white and red flower garlands, wearing a maroon turban, saffron-toned robes and a rudraksha mala, smiling broadly. A woman in a red and gold sari with grey hair in a bun kneels and offers something at his feet, while a man in a white shirt crouches nearby. Behind them, a shaved-headed priest in orange and a bare-chested attendant with white tilak stand in a golden-pillared shrine room. A woman in orange stands at the lower right. Probable Swamiji is the seated figure, showing a maroon turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garlands on a throne, with the attendants and devotees around him in a padapuja-style offering.

A seated man with bare upper body, wearing a thick white and orange flower garland and red-and-orange flower strands, extends his hand toward devotees in a darshan-style gathering. Several people are around him: a woman in a dark blue sari holds up a folded white paper, a woman in a white sari and saffron shawl presses palms together, a woman in a pink top with a red-and-white shawl bends forward, and a young man in a white shirt reaches out with cupped hands. Red curtains, a carved stone pillar and a standing fan are in the background. The seated figure is shown with distinctive adornments and a garland, and is a person in a ceremonial role receiving devotees.

A photograph of a seated bearded man in a saffron-orange robe and a white-and-gold crown, wearing a heavy garland of white jasmine and red roses and holding a green fruit. Behind him hangs an orange and red drape with floral garlands. A shirtless priest in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands at left with palms pressed in namaste. Several women in white and cream saffron-bordered saris stand and sit nearby, one holding red roses, and a young girl in a pink top and purple skirt sits at right. Flower petals scatter the floor, with a copper vessel and a wicker basket in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears saffron robes, a crown and a heavy garland, a presentation consistent with the page's identification.

A seated person in a maroon and saffron dress and a red-and-gold turban sits on a red cushioned seat, holding a silver trident and wearing a garland of white flowers with red blossoms. Around them, a devotee in a yellow blouse and white dress kneels to wash or touch their feet, while an older man in white sits beside a brass vessel of flowers. Saffron-robed attendants stand behind, one holding a camera, and a standing man in white folds his hands in namaste; a young child is held aloft at the back of a small room with yellow walls. The scene reads as a padapuja at a devotee's home.

A seated figure on a golden throne wears a rust-red turban and a red-and-white garland of flowers, with a large gold lion-headed chair arm beside them. Behind the throne, a tall arrangement of yellow, orange, red and green flower garlands rises. A man in saffron and orange robes with a rudraksha mala stands at the left of the throne. A second man in white and gold-bordered dhoti with white tilak stands beside him, reaching toward the seated figure. A woman in a red sari holds a silver vessel of red roses. Two women in white and a girl with hair tied back are seated in the foreground, bowing toward the throne. A golden lion sculpture and a gold ritual lamp stand nearby.
