Inside a pink-walled temple interior with a barred window, a central figure sits on a marble floor wearing a rust-red dress, a gold ornamented necklace, a white flower garland, gold bangles and an armlet, with a gold-coloured vermilion mark on the forehead and long hair down the back. Standing behind on the left, a man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala holds a staff-like object. Standing on the right, a man in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala holds a silver staff. Seated figures in front include a man in a dark patterned shirt and a man in a blue shawl with a yellow-marked forehead, and a man on the far right with white tripundra marks. Several people are visible, and a metal plate with offerings is near the bottom right. Photo of a temple visit with ritual attendants.

A seated man in a rust-red dhoti and wrap with a gold-bordered edge sits in an orange leather armchair, holding a small brown carved figure in his hands and working on it with a thin stick or tool. He wears a long necklace of golden beads with dark rudraksha-like spheres, has a white horizontal tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and looks down with a faint smile. Behind him a second person in rust-red robes stands holding a red cloth. A green tinsel garland with purple bows hangs on the right, and the floor is orange.

A photograph of a seated ritual scene with two main men in foreground. On the left, a man in a dark red-brown dhoti and shawl with a gold multi-strand bead necklace and a large gold pendant, a white sacred ash line across his forehead, looking down and gesturing with his right hand. On the right, an elderly bald man in a bright orange silk shawl and an orange turban-style headpiece studded with rudraksha beads, wearing a black-and-white rudraksha mala and gold pendant, eyes closed. Behind them another attendant in orange-gold garments rests a hand on the turban, and brass oil lamps, a brass pot and orange and yellow marigolds with pink roses sit nearby. The setting is a temple or ritual hall.

Photograph of two men seated close together in an ornate, gold-decorated setting with a flower arrangement behind them. The man on the left wears a rust-red and gold shawl over his shoulders, layered gold-bead and rudraksha-style necklaces, orange-yellow flowers and red beaded bracelets, with white and red tilak marks on his forehead. The man on the right, with swept-back dark hair, wears a bright orange silk shawl, a black and white beaded mala and a gold chain, and holds red beaded mala strands in his hands, as if passing or adjusting them. Another figure in orange with a crown-like head covering and beaded necklace stands in the background beside gold-carved pillars.

A man seated on a yellow-draped platform at a satsang, wearing a saffron-red shawl over his shoulder and a long rudraksha mala with large beads reaching his chest. His forehead bears white tripundra marks with a red kumkum dot. Behind him stand decorated figures in green, purple and gold garments with gold garlands. At the lower right, a bald man in a red-orange robe bends forward. A tall man in red clothing with a crossbody bag stands at the left edge. The setting is a bright hall with yellow cloth and gold ornaments.

A man seated in front of a gilded throne, wearing an orange-saffron cloth draped over his bare shoulders and a gold-yellow border, with a rudraksha mala crown band on his head, a red tilak on his forehead, large ornate gold beaded necklaces, and rudraksha armlets. Behind him stand men in white dhotis with gold borders and rudraksha malas, one holding a folded orange cloth, and an ornate golden peetha or throne with a red cloth covering the seat at right. The figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive ceremonial adornments, consistent with a person seated as the central honoured figure in a satsang setting.

A photograph of a seated man on an ornate red-cushioned throne with gold carved wood behind him, wearing a rust-orange cloth wrap and a heavy brown beaded necklace with gold bead strands, gold bangles and bracelets, and a gold earring, with a red tilak on his forehead. He reaches out to take a gold-bordered printed booklet held by an older man with glasses at the left edge. Beside him a younger man in a white dhoti with gold border and a rudraksha mala, with white and red forehead markings, looks on. Red drapes and a microphone stand are in the background. Probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the throne, recognised by the swept-back long hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-orange robe.
