A line of about fifteen men and several women in white, cream, gold, maroon and green traditional garments walks across a red-carpeted stage in front of red drapes. Many men wear white dhotis or kurtas, some with rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and shawls, and one woman in a yellow sari walks near the middle. A foreground spectator sits on a colourful woven mat with bags nearby, and stage truss and speakers are visible behind the curtain.

A procession inside a large white tent with a red carpeted floor. A man with long dark hair and an orange-saffron shawl walks centre-frame, smiling, with a bare-shouldered attendant holding a yellow canopy with beaded fringe on an orange pole above him. To the left, an older man in saffron robes with a white beard holds a walking stick, and a man in white dhoti with gold border and gold-bead garland walks beside him. On the right, young men in white dhotis with gold borders and garlands walk barefoot, one with a red bag. Spectators stand along the back, some with hands folded in namaste, and a person in a green shirt looks on.

A procession on a red carpet before a deep red backdrop. At centre, a smiling figure with long dark hair and a red bindi wears an orange-brown robe with a brown rudraksha-style mala and walks beneath a large orange parasol with a sequined fringe, held upright by a man in orange-brown and gold-bordered clothing with a white-bordered shawl and garlands. Around them, devotees in saffron and orange garments, white dhotis with gold borders, and brown robes walk with beaded malas and flower garlands, some carrying objects.

A stage ceremony beside a gold-and-red throne (peetha) decorated with white and multicolour garland strands, with a red cushion and a white floral base. A man in a pale pink sherwani and cream turban stands at the throne, reaching to receive an offering from a bare-chested priest in white dhoti and gold waistband, who holds a silver plate. Behind them a monk in saffron robes stands near the throne. To the right, four bare-chested men and boys in white dhotis, some with purple-bordered cloth and ceremonial gold-coloured necklaces, stand in a line, one holding a white cloth. A large backdrop shows a glowing temple tower in orange and green light, with fairy lights along its edge.

A wide photograph of a satsang hall with a large seated audience facing a raised stage. On the stage, a figure in orange and saffron robes sits on a gold ornate throne flanked by golden lion figures, with red drapes, gold valance and cream arches behind. Audience members in white, orange and red shawls sit on chairs and floor mats in the foreground, and a camera on a tripod records the stage. Probable Swamiji is seated on the throne with long swept-back hair, a saffron robe and a crown-like head covering. A small mic and water bottles are visible among the seated devotees.

A seated group on a red carpet before a dark red curtain. On the left, a shaved-headed man in saffron-and-gold robes with a rudraksha mala sits on a metal stool. Beside him, another shaved-headed man in orange robes with white forehead markings and a rudraksha mala presses his palms together. Further right, a shaved-headed man in orange robes gestures with a hand to his cheek. At far right, a smiling man in white kurta and white dhoti with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-trimmed stool. Other white-clad people sit in the background. No visible a person candidate can be confirmed from appearance, so the figures are described by role.
