Photograph of an open-sided tent at dusk with a yellow-and-white striped backdrop and a golden lion figure in the foreground. A man in long dark wavy hair and saffron robes sits on a raised red-and-gold seat, speaking into a handheld microphone while gesturing with his right hand. Beside him another man in saffron clothing holds a microphone stand. A bearded man in saffron robes and a rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a floor mat, and a younger man in white shirt and trousers reaches toward the seated figures. Several people in white and saffron sit on mats in the background, with a woman in white at the left edge. The seated speaker wears saffron robes with a rudraksha-style necklace visible; his appearance is only partly clear, so identity is uncertain. Total visible people: about 12.

Outdoor satsang under an orange and yellow canopy with crowded seated devotees in saffron and orange robes. A man in the center wears an orange sleeveless top and sits on a red cushioned seat with a gold necklace and mala, appearing to be a guru-like central figure surrounded by others. A young performer on the left stands bare-chested in a striped skirt with white beaded ornaments and red-and-white beaded necklace, hands folded in namaste. A bearded man in white robes with long dreadlocks sits near the center holding a phone, and an older bearded sadhu with orange turban sits to the right. A standing man in orange robes on the right gestures toward the seated group. Several people stand and mill about in the background, including men in orange and pink turbans.

A photograph of a stage ceremony. A long-haired man in orange robes and a gold necklace sits on a decorated throne with garlands, touching the forehead of a seated man in a white shirt and white trousers who bows his head. Around them, shaved-headed sannyasis in orange robes and rudraksha malas sit on the floor, some holding wooden staffs with orange flags. Orange banners hang above, and the floor holds small oil lamps. The seated man in orange is a probable Swamiji by appearance, long swept-back hair and ornate gold necklace, placed on the throne; the man in white is a devotee receiving blessing.

A seated figure on a gold ornate throne in a red-curtained tent wears a saffron-orange robe and holds palms together in namaste, with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala visible. In front, a seated group of devotees in white kurtas and yellow shawls hold brass bowls and offer food. A tray of red apples and fruit sits before the throne, with water bottles, a microphone stand and a speaker nearby. A gold lion figure is at the base of the throne, and a ledger-like white cloth covers a table to the left. Several people sit on the right in yellow and white.

A photograph of a seated man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing a saffron-orange robe, a red and white flower garland, and rudraksha malas, seated on a red throne with gold lion-head armrests under a white and red tent. A woman in white with a red-bordered sari kneels before him, touching his hand, while a bare-chested man in orange with a yellow and white bead necklace stands behind. Several women in orange and saffron garments with beaded necklaces, some holding offerings, gather around, and more devotees in white stand in the background. The seated figure appears to be a probable Swamiji candidate based on his long swept-back hair, ornate saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and garland. The scene resembles a devotional puja or padapuja at a festival setting.

Photograph inside a striped-canopy tent at an evening event. A man with long dark hair in saffron-orange robes sits on a red-cushioned seat beside a gilded lion-shaped stand, holding a microphone in one hand and extending his other hand toward a line of people in white clothing who are moving past him. Other saffron-robed sadhus sit on the floor behind him, and a row of young people in white stands along the left side. A gold-framed pillar and a yellow drape appear on the right, and a small wooden offering box sits on the stand.
