Photograph of a seated ceremony on a red floral-patterned dais with an ornate gilded throne backed by garlands of white jasmine and orange marigolds. On the left, an elderly bald man with a red bindi and white beard, wearing orange robes, sits and looks toward the right. On the right, a younger man with long dark hair and an orange turban, wearing an orange robe and long gold beaded necklaces, leans forward with hands joined and smiles. Behind them stand a man in a green shirt with a gold necklace, a bald man with glasses in an orange robe, and a man in white at the upper right. A carved wooden lion and pink flowers sit in the foreground.

A photograph of four men in saffron-orange robes in an ornate room with cream curtains and a white carved marble-style fireplace. A man in the centre-front sits in a woven cane armchair with a tiger-striped back, wearing an orange turban, orange robes and a long gold beaded necklace, hands clasped in his lap. Behind and beside him, three standing men wear orange robes: one on the left with a shaved head and arms folded in front, one at the back with a shaved head and a wrap draped over his shoulder, and one on the right with long grey-streaked hair, a beard, glasses, a pendant on a cord and a rudraksha-style mala held in his hands. Four people are visible in total.

A seated bearded elder in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, a red tilak on his forehead, against a red and gold patterned wall. Facing him, a person in an orange hooded top and orange shawl sits with their back to the camera. To the right, a person with hair in a bun wears a maroon-brown wrap, a long layered gold-and-silver beaded necklace and bangles, and gestures toward the throne. At left edge, a man in maroon clothing holds a camera. The page relates the scene to a Satsang welcome of visiting swamis. Given the saffron robes and ceremonial throne, the seated elder may be a person, though the face is not visible in a way that confirms this.

A photograph in an indoor hall with a deep red velvet curtain behind. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala necklace sits smiling on an orange velvet armchair with a red cushion and orange bolster pillows, one hand raised in conversation. Before him, an older man with white hair and beard, wrapped in an orange shawl, leans forward with hands together in greeting. A younger man in white with an orange shawl and a tilak mark stands at left, and a partially visible person is at the right edge. A white table holds a tray with small items. The seated figure's appearance matches the appearance-based cues of a person: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala, seated on a throne-like chair.

Two saffron-robed men sit side by side on red-cushioned metal chairs on a stage at a formal event. The man on the left wears an orange turban, orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, smiling with hands clasped. The man on the right, with a shaved head and white tilak marks, wears an orange shawl draped over his head and a dark rudraksha mala, gesturing with one hand as he talks. Behind them a large painted backdrop shows a seated figure beside a pillared structure, with pink flowers and white garlands at the left edge. A seated man in white and a patterned shawl is at the far left, and another man in white is partly visible at the top right.

To the left, a bearded man in orange robe with a rudraksha mala stands looking toward the seated figure, and another man in orange stands behind.

Indoor photo of a meeting in a wood-panelled room with a wooden carved chair and a window with sheer curtains. A bearded older man with long white hair and beard, wearing a pink robe, sits on the carved wooden seat holding a book or open papers, with a small wooden box and yellow cloth table in front. Standing figures in orange and saffron robes surround him: a tall figure in a red-orange head wrap and red top on the left, a figure in orange robes with back turned at centre-right, and a man in orange with a white forehead marking on the right. A person in yellow and white stands at the far left. A rattan chair sits in the foreground. The image is motion-blurred, and the central seated figure has no visible distinctive a person cues beyond general ritual attire and throne placement.
