A seated man in a saffron-orange robe with long dark hair and a tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne decorated with white and yellow flower garlands. Around him, several devotees attend: a woman in white with a cream shawl adjusts the flowers, a man in a dark blue shirt and white trousers leans in close, and women in white and pink saris stand nearby against pink drapes with gold swan motifs. The setting appears to be a hall ceremony, with the man in orange holding a small object in his lap. Given the robe, long hair and ornate throne, the seated figure is a person candidate, though his appearance is only partly clear from this angle.

A photograph of a crowd gathered around a central figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a decorated golden backrest and a garlanded canopy of white flowers, red and yellow blossoms and purple-striped fabric. The seated figure wears an orange saffron robe, a long rudraksha-style bead mala and a large gold pendant, with long dark hair. Around him, devotees in white clothing and a woman in a blue dress and a woman in orange offer and receive blessings, some bending close. A golden trident stands at the right edge beside a red flower decoration. A camera rig is visible at the upper right. a person: the seated figure in saffron with long hair, mala and gold pendant on the throne fits the candidate cues.

A photograph of a seated puja or satsang in a golden-decorated tent. A man with long dark hair and a red-brown robe with a white-and-pink flower garland sits on a large golden throne with a red cushion, with a golden ornate backdrop behind him. Around him, devotees sit on a red carpet: women in saris and salwar in teal, blue, and purple, a bare-chested man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala, men in white kurta and dhoti, and women in orange and saffron clothing. Several people hold brass plates with flowers and offerings. Two men in white and a man in white shirt sit at the right side. A figure in white with shaved head sits near the front-left. Swamiji (probable): the seated man on the throne wears a red-brown robe, a flower garland, and has long hair, matching the page's Swamiji reference.

Interior of a red-draped tent with a large ornate gilded throne at left. A seated figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-red shawl and a green-and-red garland, sits on the throne smiling while devotees approach. A bald man in a white dhoti with a red sash stands in front, and a woman in a red sari with a red-and-gold garland kneels nearby. Many devotees in saris and white ritual clothes, including women in green, teal and red, line a red carpet. Brass oil lamps and a white air conditioning unit stand beside the throne. The mood is a darshan line at a throne-seat blessing.

A photograph of a stage ceremony in front of a dark blue curtain. A man seated on an ornate gold throne wears a red garment, a long gold necklace, and bare shoulders; his hair is long and swept back, and he holds a flower garland. Around the throne, a large floral arch of marigolds in yellow, red, purple and white frames him. A young girl in a red top and cream skirt stands before him, while women in cream and white saris with green and gold borders attend the throne, one bending forward to offer a gesture. Two seated people in saffron and white robes sit at microphones in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by the long swept-back hair, gold necklace and red ceremonial garment.

A photograph of a ceremonial gathering in a tented hall, with a large ornate gold-and-red throne backed by white and red floral garlands at left. A person seated on the throne wears an orange-red garment, a multi-coloured floral garland and a gold necklace, and is receiving folded hands and a brass offering plate. Around them, devotees in white clothes and orange shawls stand close; a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala holds a brass plate, and an older man in white looks on. Electric fans and small offerings sit on a side table. The cues are a visible throne, garland and gold adornments; the person seated on the throne appears to have long hair and orange-red clothing, so the appearance is a probable Swamiji (probable) candidate, present in person, while the surrounding people are devotees.

A photograph of a ceremonial gathering under a white tent at a temple.

Two attendants in orange garments with beaded necklaces stand at left beside brass trident-shaped ritual objects.
