A satsang stage with a gold ornate throne with red cushions in front of a backdrop of a red-leaved tree and mountains, with a banner reading Bhagavad Gita Dhyana Satsang. A seated figure on the throne wears a cream turban, red robe, a rudraksha mala and a cream shawl, raising one hand in greeting; this is a probable Swamiji depiction by appearance cues (turban, red robe, rudraksha mala, seated on a throne). To the right, a man in white dhoti with gold border holds a large lit multi-tiered brass oil lamp (aarti). In the foreground at left, two women in white sit on the floor with hands folded near a microphone stand. Brass lamps flank the stage.

A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions at a Bhagavad Gita Dhyana Satsang, wearing an orange turban, orange robes and a rudraksha mala, with hands resting in his lap. A man in white dhoti with gold borders stands in the foreground holding a tall silver multi-tiered aarti lamp with burning wicks. A woman in a blue saree sits on the left beside offering trays, and another devotee in a green sari sits near the throne base decorated with red and yellow flowers. Behind is a yellow and red backdrop with a tree and the printed title Bhagavad Gita Dhyana Satsang. The seated figure has distinctive orange turban, ornate necklace and long hair cues, so this is a person appearance.

A photograph of a ritual in a satsang hall. A figure in orange robes, with an orange headcloth, a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands folded, with a person identification by appearance. A man with a shaved head and white dhoti with gold border holds a silver multi-tier lamp aloft while facing the throne. Two women sit on the floor: one in a turquoise blouse with a floral offering nearby, and one in a green sari with a red border holding a small object. Fresh flowers and marigolds decorate the throne platform. A banner behind reads Bhagavad Gita and Nithyana Satsang, with a lit tiered brass aarti lamp to the right.
