A seated man in dark red-orange robes sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, eyes closed, a white tilak with a red bindi on his forehead, long dark hair and a full beard. He gestures with his right hand toward a shirtless attendant in the foreground who wears an orange turban and white body markings and holds a silver vessel and a silver bowl. Carved wooden screens stand behind the throne. The setting appears to be a courtyard session during a Vishesha Deeksha ritual.

A seated man in rust-brown robes and a pink-and-white flower garland sits on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-head arms and leopard-print cushions, eyes closed and right palm raised. A standing priest in saffron-orange cloth and a saffron turban, seen from behind and bare-chested, holds up a lit oil lamp toward him. Hanging brass bells and a gold-framed backdrop surround the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a long-hair, crown-like headdress, ceremonial gold necklace and rudraksha-style beads; the appearance cues are moderate, so the label is probable rather than certain. The scene reads as a puja with aarti being offered.

A seated man in an orange-brown draped garment and rudraksha malas, wearing a leopard-print saffron turban and long dreadlocks with a crescent ornament, sits on an ornate red throne with gold carving. He smiles while placing his hands on the head of a curly-haired man in a white shirt who bends toward him, as in a blessing. A woman with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge. The dark stage backdrop has warm orange light. The seated figure fits the page's a person context in dress and presentation, so the identity is probable.

A photograph of a seated man on a red velvet cushioned seat in front of an ornate silver throne backrest with carved figures. He wears an orange-red robe, a yellow and black leopard-print turban with long dreadlocked hair, multiple rudraksha malas and wooden bead bracelets, and a gold chain. He raises one hand in a gesture while speaking, and a microphone stand stands beside him. Kneeling at left, a second man wears an orange wrap over bare shoulders with white ash marks on his body and holds a white plate toward him. A small mixing console sits on a stand behind the kneeling man, and a gilded frame and painted panels appear in the background.

A seated man in an ornate gold throne with red cushions receives an aarti from a standing attendant in saffron-orange robes and matching headwrap. The seated figure wears a deep orange-red cloth, has a white tripundra and red bindi, long dark hair, and his hands are folded at his chest. The attendant wears rudraksha mala necklaces and gold bangles, holding a flaming oil lamp. Red flower petals cover the floor beneath the throne, and a carved wooden screen stands behind. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (Nithyananda Paramashivam) given his throne, long hair, saffron-orange clothing and rudraksha-style adornments, and the page states he attended. Two people are visible.
