Outdoor evening gathering at a stage with a golden ornate throne. A man in an orange turban, orange robe and a red-and-green floral garland sits on the throne holding a white paper, with a small silver bird ornament on the armrest. Around him, several men in white dhotis and shirts and orange-robed men with rudraksha malas stand or lean in, one man in white bending toward the throne. Behind them a large portrait shows a smiling man in an orange turban. Red trays of offerings sit to the right, and string lights and a fan are visible in the background.

A seated figure in an orange-red turban and orange-red draped robe, wearing rudraksha malas and bangles, sits on an orange cushioned throne-like chair receiving an offering from a kneeling man in a white shirt with a red-and-gold shawl. Behind, a green-and-gold ornate shrine arch frames a framed portrait, and a second person in a white turban and white garment stands nearby, with a man in orange seated beside the throne and several men in white and cream clothing standing in the background. Probable Swamiji: the seated figure wears long swept-back hair, a red-orange turban, orange robes and multiple rudraksha malas, consistent with the page's description of the event.

A seated figure in an orange-red turban and orange robe, wearing a multicoloured floral garland with green, white, red and orange blooms and a blue-and-red bead garland, sits on a red tiger-striped cushion before a gold throne. He smiles and extends his right hand toward a young boy kneeling on the right, who wears a white dhoti with gold border, a rudraksha mala and white tripundra on his forehead, and holds a small object while a brass plate with a tray sits on the red cloth. A standing young attendant in a white dhoti with gold border, rudraksha beads and a white forehead mark watches at right. Behind them a banana plant, a painted pillar with floral and bird motifs, and a seated crowd fill the dim hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a saffron turban and orange robe with a flower garland, seated on a gold throne.

A photograph taken under a white and pink draped tent at an outdoor event. A seated man with long dark hair wears a cream and gold shawl over cream clothing and sits on a red cushion with a gold-coloured item and garlands of white and purple flowers in front of him; he holds an open booklet and reads from it. Beside him stands a younger man in orange robes with a large amber bead necklace. To the left, a smiling woman in a cream sari with orange border and floral print wears a dark bead mala. Behind them, a crowd sits on the ground under the tent, mostly women in white and cream saris. a person appearance cues are present but the figure is not clearly distinctive enough to confirm identity.

A photograph of a festival event under a tent with pink drapery and blue-and-white canopy edges. In the foreground, a bald, bearded man in orange robes stands with hands pressed together in greeting, while a long-haired figure in a cream and gold-trimmed garment at right reaches toward a golden-and-red ornamental object heaped with marigold and flower garlands. Other saffron-robed attendants, a white-clad man with a lanyard, and a bearded elder in orange surround them, with a crowd of devotees and a mini wooden stage visible in the background. Seated rows of red chairs and flower-decorated poles frame the scene. The long-haired figure in cream and gold may be a person, identifiable by long swept-back hair and ornate ceremonial clothing, though this is uncertain.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a cream gold-bordered turban and a golden trident-topped staff behind him sits on a cushioned seat in front of a large audience under orange drapes. He wears a white and orange flower garland, a gold necklace and a red tilak on his forehead, and his hair falls long past his shoulders. In the foreground another person in orange clothing with a gold necklace sits at the lower right, facing away. Behind them a crowd of seated devotees, many with hands pressed together in namaste, wears white and cream clothing; some boys in white kurtas sit in front, and several people wear glasses.

A seated figure in an orange saffron robe sits on a red cushioned seat before a large ornate gold throne backdrop, wearing a white jasmine garland with pink, yellow and purple flower accents. He has long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and holds a small folded white paper while looking down at it. Two men stand beside him: one in a grey shirt on the left, and a man in a grey-and-white striped shirt leaning in from the right, wearing a wristwatch. Bright garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers frame the throne.

A seated man in an orange turban and orange saffron wrap, wearing a rudraksha mala and a garland of pink and white flowers, smiles while receiving an offering from a hand held out by a man in white ritual dress with a gold-chained neck and white and gold cloth. Nearby an elderly man in white shirt and glasses bows and holds a small card, while a devotee stands beside a gold-and-red throne. Behind them red and orange decorations hang in a tented pavilion with a red carpet and religious banners. The seated figure's appearance with long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha and garland fits the page's Swamiji reference, though the identity is an appearance-based probable match.
