A photograph of a seated man in a red-maroon turban, long rudraksha mala and gold ceremonial necklace and armbands, smiling with palms pressed together in namaste on a red cushioned seat beside a gold-carved throne. Before him an elderly bald man in white shirt and orange shawl bows low with his head near the floor, hands clasped. Behind them a man in white dhoti kneels, a brass oil lamp stands on the floor, a tall gold staff rests against the seat, and a red curtain forms the backdrop. A cameraman with a tripod is visible in the background, and two more people in red robes stand at left with hands folded.

A seated man in a tan turban and white dhoti, with gold beaded necklaces, smiles and gestures while sitting in an ornate red and gold throne chair before blurred warm lights. Beside him, an elderly bearded sadhu with a long white beard, white sacred ash stripes on his head and chest, a beaded rudraksha-style mala, and orange-saffron robes sits leaning toward him with his hands clasped in conversation. A third person in orange clothing is partly visible at the top right edge. The seated man in the throne matches the a person appearance cues described by the page, but his face is not a basis for identification and the cues are only partly distinctive, so the match is uncertain.

Photograph of a ceremonial satsang setting. A figure with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a saffron-orange sleeveless garment and a small microphone, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, holding a folded paper and a string of beads, a person, seated in a presiding role. In front, a man in white kurta with a brown rudraksha mala kneels with hands folded, receiving the offering. Behind, a priest in white dhoti with a red border and gold necklace stands, and a woman in white with a yellow shawl and a man in saffron stand near brass trays holding red flowers, fruit and offerings. A gold-framed plaque and a gilded wooden box sit nearby. Five to six people are visible.

A photograph of a ceremonial exchange at a flower-decorated dais. A man in a long white dhoti with red border, a white vibhuti mark on his forehead and a rudraksha mala, is bending forward with hands together, smiling, and receiving or offering a floral arrangement of orange lilies, pink and white flowers. Across from him, a figure in a long orange-saffron robe and long swept-back dark hair, wearing a rudraksha mala, leans forward smiling and extends both hands toward the flowers. Behind them stands a golden ornate throne with a cobra-hood backrest, garlanded with yellow and purple marigolds and white flowers, and a deity murti or framed image is visible in the upper background. A partially visible person in green stands at the left edge.

Indoor ritual scene in front of a red draped curtain and white tiled wall. A man with long dark hair, white tilak on the forehead, orange robe and multiple rudraksha malas with a gold ceremonial necklace sits smiling in a white chair, apparently a probable Swamiji by appearance cues. A bare-chested man in white dhoti kneels beside him, touching his arm, and a shaven-headed man in orange robes with a gold chain sits at left beside a small wooden table holding a brass lamp and a tall trident-topped staff garlanded with red, pink and white flowers. A brass bowl sits on the table. Several devotees with folded hands and white garments are visible at the edges, and a woman in white sits in the lower right foreground.

Indoor photo in a room with red drapes and an ornate gilded red-cushioned chair at right. A man in an orange-red turban and bare-chest with an orange-gold wrap and a long rudraksha mala smiles and raises his palms toward an older bearded man in a pink and orange robe with an orange shawl, who bows with joined palms and a vertical tilak on his forehead. Behind them a man in white dhoti with gold border, gold necklaces and a garland stands smiling, and another bald man in gold-trimmed orange clothing is at left. Another bearded man in orange robes stands at right edge.

A photograph of two seated men on ornate red and gold thrones in front of a background of warm bokeh lights. The man on the left wears a cream turban, a white dhoti-style wrap over one shoulder, and a long strand of gold beads around his neck; he gestures with one raised hand while speaking. The elderly man on the right has a long white beard, a light-coloured turban, white horizontal markings across his forehead and body, a grey beaded mala, and an orange-saffron cloth; his hands are pressed together in a respectful gesture. Behind them a man in orange robes stands with hands folded, and in the lower left corner a partly visible person in white sits. Three people are visible in the scene.

A seated man in an orange-red saffron dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate silver-framed red throne, smiling and raising his right palm toward a kneeling bare-chested devotee with white ash markings who bows with his forehead touching his hands.
