A photograph inside a decorated tent with orange draped walls and mirrored embellishments. A figure with long dark hair wearing a white and gold-bordered dhoti or saree, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace sits on a leopard-print cushioned seat, facing a kneeling older woman in a red blouse and gold-patterned sari who holds out her hands toward them. Behind them a pink floral garland decorates a deity murti on an orange-draped table, and a camera operator stands at the right edge. Long dark hair, rudraksha mala and gold ornaments suggest a person as the seated figure receiving devotion, though the image does not confirm the identity.

Night-time ritual indoors at an ashram-style hall. A woman with long dark hair, wearing an orange sari with a green garland, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a red cushion. A shaved-headed man in white kneels on a gold footstool with a red cushion and applies a mark or medicine with a small tool to her forehead area while she holds a small object in her hands. Behind them, several people in white and saffron clothing stand under a fluorescent light near a red curtain and a wall board. A brass plate sits on the ground near the footstool. The scene appears to be a formal initiation-style ceremony.

Behind them, a row of people in white and saffron clothing stand near a pillar, and a dark banner with white lettering hangs at the top of the hall.

A seated figure with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala wears a white and gold-bordered cloth with a gold sash, perched on a red-upholstered chair. A kneeling person in a white shirt and light trousers, with grey hair, leans forward with hands pressed together in respect. Behind them hang a pink and white floral garland, orange drapes, and a decorated backdrop with a deity murti. A tray of apples, oranges and white sweets sits in the foreground, along with flowers and an orange cloth on the floor. A pagoda-style cushion and a microphone stand are visible.

A photograph of a devotee in a white shirt and white trousers kneeling and bowing his head toward a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange head wrap. The seated figure wears a large garland of yellow and red-white flowers around the neck and appears to be smiling. Behind them a woman in a white sari stands near a white board, and a striped red and white cloth covers a seat. The seated figure has long dark hair under the orange cloth and a gold-edged saffron garment, matching the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of saffron clothing and ornate dress; the kneeling devotee and standing woman are persons. The seat is a cushioned bench, and the setting is an indoor hall with pale curtains.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair receiving padapuja: a devotee in a white top and white trousers kneels on a white cloth on the floor and bows with forehead touching the bare foot of the seated figure. The seated person rests one hand on the devotee's head, smiling, in a wooden chair with a white-draped table beside them holding a plate of fruit, a small glass and a phone. Behind is a blank white easel board and a light stand. Two people are visible.

A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a white and yellow flower garland sits on a white-draped platform before deep red curtains and a white backdrop. A man in white kneels before him, both hands raised to the seated figure's head in blessing. Behind them, a child in a light patterned shirt and blue pants stands barefoot on the white cloth, and a person in white clothing is partly visible at right. The seated figure has long dark hair and a broad smile; an identity is not established from appearance, so the a person field is unsure.

A photograph of a ceremony on a red carpet under a white tent canopy. A figure with long, swept-back dark hair stands at center in a peach-orange sari and a long gold necklace, with a tripod-mounted camera beside them. Around them, men in white dhotis and cream shawls with red-and-gold borders bend over ritual items, and a woman in a green and yellow sari with a gold necklace kneels in the foreground. Behind them hang an orange-and-red flag and a tall brass lamp stand with lit oil lamps. The setting suggests a puja or ritual gathering.
