A photograph of a ceremonial scene in front of an ornate silver arched throne with a glowing orange backdrop. A seated man with a shaved head, wearing a brown and cream patterned shawl over a rust-coloured dhoti, sits on the throne smiling. Two attendants in plain white shirts and white dhotis kneel on the floor before him; one holds an object near his hands and the other, a woman in a white sari, kneels at the right holding a small item. Red cushions and white flower petals lie on the floor, with a garland at left. a person cues are insufficient here because the figure lacks distinctive adornments like long hair, crown, or rudraksha malas; he is shown as a seated presence with attendants, so identity is uncertain.

Stage darshan scene in front of a backdrop of large orange flames. A seated figure in a red-and-gold garment and dark, swept-back hair sits on a red cushioned throne inside a large gilded circular arch, with a trident and a ceremonial staff beside it. A man in a white kurta kneels with both hands raised toward the seated figure, and another kneeling devotee in white touches the figure's hand. Two women in white sit to the right, one wearing a red-bead mala, while a red shopping bag sits on the carpet. Metal tridents and a peacock-feather fan stand at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure with long swept-back hair, orange-red robes and ornate adornments in a ceremonial setting, shown in a yoga-session and darshan context.

A seated man with short hair and a broad smile sits on a red cloth before an ornate silver arch framed by a large silver circular halo and a backdrop of bright orange flames. He wears a zebra-striped shawl over his bare chest, a white flower garland, and rust-red dhoti-style cloth. Two men kneel nearby: one in a white shirt and dark dhoti bowing low with hands on the floor, and another in a white shirt at the left edge. A third person in saffron-orange robes sits at the right edge. Small offerings, fruit and flowers lie on a tray near the seated figure. The scene suggests a devotional gathering at a dais. Whether the seated man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so the role is described as a seated man receiving devotees.

A photograph of a seated figure on a red cushioned throne before a large ornate gold lotus-petal backdrop. The seated man has long dark hair, a red-brown robe, a tilak on his forehead, and gold ornaments and beads; he is touching the cheek of a bald, bare-chested devotee in a white dhoti with a white sash and an ID badge, who bows forward toward him. On the left, a woman in a yellow blouse and white sari leans in, and another woman in a red-brown shawl stands at the left edge; a man in white is at the right edge holding a cloth. The seated figure's long hair, saffron-toned robe and gold ornaments are cues consistent with the page's claim, so this appearance-based label is probable: Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne, receiving a devotee in what appears to be a padapuja or darshan moment. Visible people are roughly five.

Indoor temple-style hall with red carpet and a red mat in front. A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a deep red-brown garment and a pink-and-white flower garland, sits on an ornate gold throne carved with a lion-like motif, flanked by golden trees with lights. Behind him is a golden deity murti with multiple arms holding a trident-like object. Several people in white clothes kneel and sit around the throne with hands folded in devotion; a man in white kneels close to the throne touching its base, and a man in a white dhoti and shawl sits on the left. A brown-clothed woman sits to the right. A red-brown cloth backdrop hangs behind the setting.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate silver-coloured throne with a large silver arched backrest and flame-like backdrop. The seated person wears a tiger-striped orange and black top with a maroon wrap and a bead necklace, and is smiling. Two men in white clothes stand at the sides: one on the left with his arms raised toward the seated figure and a hand on the seated figure's shoulder, and one on the right in a white shirt seen from behind. Garlands of red and yellow flowers hang at the right edge. The seated figure does not show the distinctive long hair, crown or saffron cues needed for a probable identification, so the appearance is uncertain.

A blurred stage photo shows an ornate gold throne with red cushions and a gold canopy garlanded with yellow and red flowers, set against an orange-and-blue painted sunset backdrop. A seated figure in orange robes sits on the throne, with a person in white kneeling and bowing with forehead to the golden base. A woman in an orange garment stands at left and another woman in a white sari with a gold border stands at right. Red-draped tables and a small lit lamp flank the throne. Appearance-based label: the seated figure in orange robes on the throne is a person candidate, though the face and features are too blurred to confirm.
