Photo of a devotional ceremony under a red and white draped tent. A figure in an ornate golden crown and garland of red, yellow and white flowers stands at the right on a golden throne-like seat, hands raised in blessing, wearing orange-saffron clothing. Seated devotees in front, many with palms pressed together in namaste, include a woman in an orange sari, a man in a white shirt, a man in an orange-brown kurta, and women in saris. Golden trays of offerings with pink and orange flowers sit in front of them, and a cooler stands at left. Swamiji (probable): the crowned figure in saffron clothing with a golden crown and flower garland, seated on a golden throne in a satsang or puja setting.

A photograph of a festive ceremony under a white tented canopy. A figure seated on an ornate gold throne with a gold umbrella overhead wears an orange garment and is garlanded with bright multicoloured flower chains. Around the raised green-carpeted platform, about two dozen people sit on the floor in saffron, yellow, pink and white saris and white dhotis, with flower offerings and brass plates in front of them. A large golden cobra stands at the left beside a decorated palanquin, and a painted fire pit with flames glows at the right. A video camera on a tripod is at the lower right. a person is probable: the seated figure has an orange garment, flower garlands and a ceremonial throne setting, but the face and features are too small to confirm.

A photograph of a ceremony on a red-carpeted stage under a white tent. A long-haired figure in a golden crown and garlands sits on an ornate red throne with a carved lion-like figure beside it, wearing a yellow-gold dhoti and white garlands. A man in white kneels in front, hands raised in reverence, next to a woman in a yellow sari with folded hands. A younger man in white and a boy with a mala stand nearby, and white-clad attendants and orange-robed devotees are visible in the background. Marigold and jasmine garlands cover the throne and a silver tray of flowers lies at its base.

A photograph of a seated man in a saffron-orange sleeveless robe on an ornate gold throne with carved lion figures and a gold arched backrest, hands pressed together in namaste and eyes closed. A red tilak mark is on his forehead. In front of him, devotees in white and yellow clothing sit on the floor; one woman in a yellow shawl holds a lit oil lamp, another in white lifts an arati or ritual item, and a man in white raises a small brass vessel. Behind them a red-pillared temple-style tent interior with a hanging kalasha-like canopy and cushions with brass offerings. This is a puja or aarti gathering in a tented setting.

A photograph of a seated figure in a gold ornate throne with a red cushioned back, hands pressed together in namaste. The figure wears an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment, a long white flower garland, and has a tilak on the forehead. Around the gold pedestal, several devotees sit on a red patterned carpet: a woman in a pale grey-beige sari with hands folded, a woman in maroon with an orange shawl offering something from a brass plate, a woman in maroon with orange shawl and white flower in her hair, a woman in red, and a man in white kurta with orange shawl pressing his palms together. Pink flower arrangements and fruit plates sit on the dais. The backdrop shows painted fish and a blue sky with clouds.

Photograph of a ceremony on a stage decorated with marigold garlands and yellow flower backdrops. A central figure sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, a gold crown-like headpiece and a canopy above, hands pressed together in greeting. Seated before him are several people in saffron-orange robes, including bearded men and women with long hair, arranged around platters of fruit, flowers and offerings. A man in white with an orange shawl sits at the right edge. The setting is a pink-draped outdoor pavilion with a speaker at the left. The page identifies this as a 2008 Jayanti event, but the figure's appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity from the image alone.
