Photograph of a seated satsang in a temple hall with painted deity statues flanking the doorway. A man in orange robes and an orange turban sits on a gold throne with red cushions, a rudraksha-style mala visible at his neck; he is a probable Swamiji candidate by these cues. In front, a woman in an orange sari with folded hands sits on a red-patterned rug beside a microphone stand, and a man in a brown kurta sits before the throne. On the right, seated devotees include a girl in purple, a woman in green and a woman in pink, with a man in grey at the edge. Hanging brass oil lamps and a ceiling chandelier are visible.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, raising one hand in a teaching gesture. He is framed by painted deity figures on pillars, one holding a trident, and a hanging brass lamp set above. Several people sit on carpets before him: a young woman in orange, a girl in pink, a person in yellow and others in saris, several with hands pressed in anjali. A brass oil lamp stands at right and a man in an orange shawl sits in the foreground. A maroon curtain hangs at left.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with an orange head covering, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and a gold-trimmed ornate necklace sits on a gold throne with red cushions, gesturing as he speaks, in a temple hall framed by two painted multi-armed deity murti standing either side. In front, a young woman in orange clothing sits on a red carpet with hands folded, beside a microphone stand, while a family of devotees sits on the floor in green, pink and purple clothes listening. Brass oil lamps hang from the ceiling above the throne.

Interior of a temple with painted blue and pink walls and two large painted figures of deity guardians with crowns, gold jewelry and orange-green dhotis, each holding objects in raised hands. In the centre, a gilded throne with a tiger skin draped over its seat sits beneath a canopy; a framed portrait of a smiling man in orange robes and an orange turban hangs above it, garlanded with a wreath. Several women in orange and red saris sit on the floor before the shrine, some with puja trays and oil lamps. Brass oil lamps line the foreground and rugs cover the white marble floor. Nothing about the person in the portrait is confirmed beyond the visible orange turban and robes; the portrait is a depiction of a person, identity uncertain.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, wearing a long rudraksha-style bead necklace and with long dark hair, sits on an ornate gold throne in a temple-like hall, holding a lit ceremonial lamp while an attendant in orange robes reaches toward him. Behind him, brightly painted deity figures with trident-like weapons flank the entrance. Several devotees sit cross-legged on mats in the foreground: a man in white dhoti and shirt with hands folded, women in green, teal and maroon saris and salwar, and a child in red kurta. Brass oil lamps stand around the throne. The scene looks like a puja or aarti in progress.

A figure seated on an ornate golden throne (peetha) at the centre of a richly painted hall, flanked by two tall painted dvarapala-style guardian figures with multiple arms, crowns and gold ornaments. The seated figure wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a rudraksha mala around the neck, and sits beneath a gold canopy hung with bells. In front, a woman in an orange sari with gold border sits on the floor with folded hands and a book, while several saffron-robed attendants sit near the throne steps. Brass oil lamps (deepas) stand along the sides, and red and patterned carpets cover the floor. a person: the seated figure has a rudraksha mala and saffron clothing on a throne, consistent with the page's claim, but the face and build are too small to confirm reliably.
