A seated figure on a gold-and-red throne in a richly decorated hall receives offerings from devotees. The central figure wears a saffron-orange robe, a long orange shawl and a heavy gold-beaded necklace, with a red tilak on the forehead and long dark hair; the appearance is a probable Swamiji candidate by the cues of saffron clothing, ornate gold necklace and throne. He holds a silver plate of offerings while smiling. A woman in a white sari with gold bangles and a dark mala offers a plate, and a young woman in white holds a tray of green fruit. Behind them, men in white and orange and a woman in a white sari stand among garlands and striped cloth. The gilded throne carries a central deity relief at the top, and the backdrop features red fabric, flowers and fringed decorations.

A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne upholstered in red, draped with a red cloth and a garland of white and yellow flowers. A young man in white shirt and trousers bends forward to offer a pineapple and fruit, while a woman in a white sari with a red border stands beside him. A young boy on the left holds a rudraksha-style mala. Behind the throne, a backdrop of yellow and orange marigold strands and red and white flower arrangements decorates the hall. A devotee in white on the right stands near the throne. Fruit offerings rest on a tray at the base of the throne.

A photograph of a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a multicoloured flower garland receiving a small wrapped gift from a woman in a white top who kneels before him. The seated man has long swept-back hair, a bare-shouldered orange garment and a red-and-white floral garland, and sits on a gold-ornate throne with cushions. Behind him stand two men in orange: one with a shaved head and orange cloth, wearing a gold necklace, and another with long hair and a gold pendant. Flower garlands in red and orange drape the backdrop, and a gold-framed panel decorates the wall. A small child's hand is visible near the woman. Presentation of gifts before a throne suggests a darshan or prasad offering; the seated figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a flower garland and ceremonial gold ornaments.
