A photograph of a seated ceremony. A person with long dark hair and a white flower garland, dressed in orange, bows forward and holds a hand over a silver tray of fruit, flowers and offerings. Beside them, a shaven-headed man in an orange robe, orange head cloth, rudraksha-style beads and a gold chain offers the tray, wearing glasses. A microphone stands in front. Behind them, seated devotees in orange, yellow and white garments, several wearing saffron shawls, watch. A red pillar and orange cloth hang at right. No appearance-based a person candidate is clearly established, so the identity is uncertain.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a leopard-print cushion before an ornate silver-embossed backdrop, eyes lowered, holding a small pink flower and some stems in one raised hand amid rising smoke. He wears heavy gold beaded necklaces layered over multiple rudraksha malas, a rudraksha armlet on his upper arm, a white and red forehead marking, and a small lapel microphone. A second, bald man in orange stands partly visible behind him. The overall scene resembles a satsang or ritual offering. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, seated as the presiding speaker.

Three men sit side by side on a stage in orange and saffron ceremonial dress before a backdrop of decorated deity images and ornate silver ritual items. The man on the left, with long swept-back hair, wears a peach kurta, a rudraksha-style necklace and a blue-edged shawl, and smiles toward the centre. The man in the middle wears a red-brown turban with a red tilak mark, a brown-and-gold shawl, a thick bead mala and gold armlets, and laughs broadly while his hands rest near platters of orange marigold garlands. The man on the right wears an orange turban, an orange shawl and a white bead necklace. Silver trays of marigolds sit in front of them. The central figure with the turban, bead mala and gold armlets is a person candidate; the other two are devotees seated on the dais.

A man with long swept-back dark hair, orange-saffron robes and a long gold-and-rudraksha mala seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne has his bare feet placed on a gold tray garlanded with white flowers, where a white lotus-like flower lies. Probable Swamiji's cues here are the long hair, orange robes, ornate mala and throne. A shaved-headed priest in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on the floor beside the throne, hands joined in front of him, with a silver thali of flowers, a red fruit and a pink lotus. A cooler stands at the right edge.
