Group photo at a Kalpataru darshan event in front of an ornate gold throne with curved gilt carvings and a red seat. A figure seated on the throne wears an orange-red turban, an orange robe and a long rudraksha mala with white and red flower garlands, and is smiling. A bearded man in white kurta-pyjama stands at the front, while others crowd around: a man in a grey shirt at left, a man in a white shirt wearing a red lanyard, a woman in a multicoloured sari, a man in a yellow shirt at right and a smiling young woman at far right. All appear to be in close contact with the seated figure. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a turban, orange robes and a rudraksha mala with garlands, matching the page description of Kalpataru darshan at the Kumbh Mela.

A festive celebration indoors at a decorated stage with yellow and orange flower arrangements, pink rose garlands and a large gold-framed seat draped in white and pink flowers. A man seated in the foreground wears a pink-and-white turban, long dark hair, a cream silk garment and a flower garland, smiling. Around him, devotees in white clothes, orange shawls and rudraksha-style beads crowd closely; two women in white and blue saris, one holding a flower-filled brass plate, smile at the camera. A framed picture of a deity hangs on the backdrop above.

A photograph inside a white tented pavilion showing a decorated golden palanquin or throne covered with garlands of orange, red, yellow and white flowers and green leaves. A figure seated on the throne wears an orange-saffron turban and orange shawl with a rudraksha-style necklace and bead garland, and is adorned with flower garlands. Beside the throne, a man in an orange robe with glasses and a woman in an orange sari with red bead necklace stand near him. On the left, a man in white clothes with an orange and green shawl and an older woman in yellow sari stand among devotees with hands raised. In the foreground, several people's heads and shoulders are visible, including a child with hair tied back. A golden ornate canopy hangs overhead.

A photograph inside a decorated hall with warm orange ceiling lighting shows a central seated figure on an ornate throne-like seat (peetha) draped with marigold, red rose and green garlands, beneath a multicoloured fringed canopy. The seated person wears a white dhoti-style garment, a white turban and a gold-toned garland, and is smiling. Around them, several people in white ritual clothes stand with hands folded or offering, including a shaved-headed man in white with an orange shawl, and a man in an orange-and-saffron garment standing at right. Women in sarees, one in a yellow-and-green print, stand among devotees. Nobody on the seat is confirmed as a person by an appearance-based cue beyond the white turban and garland, so identity is uncertain.

A photo of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate gold throne, with a white and pink flower garland around his neck and bare feet resting on a red cushion. Standing around him are devotees: a man in a white shirt with a red neck cord, a man in a white kurta on the left, and women in a cream saree with a maroon border and a woman in a blue patterned top and teal leggings. The backdrop shows a painted banyan-tree scene with gold carved ornamentation behind the throne.

A photograph inside an ornately carved golden temple hall. A person seated on a gilded throne with a red cushion wears a saffron robe, a long-sleeved orange garment and a large garland of purple and white flowers. Devotees crowd around: a bare-chested man in a white dhoti and gold-bordered shawl stands in front, a man in a grey shirt holds a phone up, a bald priest in orange wears a gold necklace, and women in saris and salwar kameez with flowers in their hair stand nearby. A white portable cooler sits beside the throne and gold-framed lattice panels fill the background.

A photograph on a stage under a white tent canopy. Seated centrally is a figure with long braided hair, wearing a red-orange turban, an orange-red robe with gold border, and bangles, smiling. Behind is a gilded green-and-gold ornate shrine arch with a framed painted portrait. Five men stand around the seated figure: on the left a man in a blue shirt, a man in a checked shirt, a young man in a grey shirt, on the right a man in a white shirt and a man in a white shirt with a folded sleeve. A man in white stands behind near the portrait. The seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the braided hair, red-orange turban and saffron robe.

A photograph of a festive ceremony at a white-tented pavilion. A long-haired man in saffron-orange clothing and a white and red flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved backrest and a gold crown-like top. A trident stands beside the throne and a brass vessel sits in front. Devotees crowd close, including a man in a white shirt with a rudraksha-style mala at left, women in white and green saris, and men in white and dark clothing, some offering red fruit or flowers. Behind the throne hangs a painted backdrop with figures in orange robes. A flower-garlanded white hall with hanging jasmine strands frames the scene. a person appears on the throne with distinctive long swept hair, saffron clothing and a ceremonial gold necklace, so the figure is an appearance-based a person in person. Roughly twenty to thirty people are visible.

A seated figure with long dark hair, a red shawl over a red garment, rudraksha-style beads and a floral garland sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved crown-like top and a raised hand motif behind it. Devotees in white dhotis and saffron and red robes surround the throne, some with green lanyards and vibhuti or sandal marks, and some pressing forward with folded hands. A gold trident stands at the left edge and a silver ceremonial staff at the right. The a person cues are the long swept hair, ornate gold necklaces and shawl on the throne. The scene suggests a darshan gathering with about 21 to 100 people visible.
