A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes with a swept-back hairstyle, a tilak on his forehead, a gold-and-beaded necklace, and rudraksha-style beads, sitting on an ornate gold throne. He smiles while holding the hand of an older woman in a white sari who kneels before him and holds a red cloth. Silver trident staffs and a floral garland stand near the throne, and a bald man in orange stands behind. The background is draped in red and orange fabric. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has several qualifying cues (swept-back hair, saffron robes, ornate gold necklace, rudraksha beads) and sits on a throne, so the appearance-based label applies.

A seated man on a gold lion-armed throne with a red and gold turban, red and white flower garlands, rudraksha-style beads, and a green leaf garland, gesturing with his right hand. Two women attend him: one in a white and gold-bordered garment with a rudraksha necklace and bangles, seen from behind, and another in an orange saffron sari and dark beaded necklace, her cupped palms extended toward him. Gold lion sculptures flank the throne against deep red drapes, with a microphone on a stand and a tray of limes in the lower left corner.

A seated figure in a rust-orange turban, orange robe and layered garlands of marigold and white flowers sits on an ornate gilded throne with lion-headed finials and a golden lion statue at the left. He smiles and extends both arms outward, holding a yellow fruit in one hand. A white-haired woman in a white sari with a green border bends forward to offer something, and a woman in a magenta sari stands at the right edge. Two attendants in white and orange robes stand at the left, one holding a yellow fruit, and a dark red curtain forms the backdrop.

A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests, draped in a white and black tiger-striped cloth. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, a long rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold beaded necklaces, and white and red tilaka on his forehead; he is barefoot and holds his hands on the armrests. Beside him, a bearded man in an orange kurta sits with palms joined in namaskar. In the foreground are silver-rimmed trays of flowers, fruit, coconuts and oil lamps, and a brass oil lamp burns on a gold stand at the right. Brass bells hang above, and a dark backdrop surrounds the scene. Two additional people are partially visible at the right edge, one in orange in the foreground.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions and a tiger-striped throne cover, with a golden lion-shaped armrest beside him. The seated man wears a rust-red robe with a gold-bordered drape, a red-brown rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders, a gold necklace, and white sacred ash markings on his forehead, and he smiles as he gestures with one hand. Facing him from the left, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with a gold border and red waist cloth kneels or bends forward with ash markings and a rudraksha mala, in an apparent respectful gesture. A silver staff and a microphone stand are visible, with red curtains behind.

A seated man in a red and black tiger-striped cloth, with bare upper torso, gold armlets, bangles and a long gold-beaded necklace, sits on a gold throne with a white tilak on his forehead and a red dot at its centre. He smiles while extending his hand to a kneeling elderly man in white clothes with an orange shawl over his shoulders, who presses his palms together and bows his head, holding a small bunch of flowers. Behind them hangs a tall garland of pink roses on a metal stand, and a woman in white stands at right. The seated man is a person by appearance cues (long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, saffron-red clothing, throne), but the identification is not fully certain.

A seated figure in an orange-red robe, with a white forehead band, long gold beaded necklaces and gold armbands, sits on a red tiger-striped cushioned seat before a gold ornate backdrop. An older man in a white shirt with an orange shawl kneels and holds his hands in añjali, bowing with flowers near a golden deity murti and a trident decorated with pink flowers. Two women stand to the right, one in white with a rudraksha mala and tilak, the other in red with folded hands. A bald man with rudraksha beads is partly visible at the left edge. The scene suggests a puja or darshan, with the seated figure's appearance unclear, so the identity is uncertain.

A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms, draped with a tiger-stripe cloth. He wears an orange-rust robe with a yellow-gold border, a long layered necklace of gold beads, and a thick red-and-white flower garland; his right hand is raised in blessing. Hanging brass lamps and bells frame the throne, and a golden bench with a silver tray and offerings sits in front. Two seated people in saffron-orange and dark clothing are in the foreground, partly visible at the edges, and a person's hand holding a bangle appears at the right. Red and gold patterned curtains frame the scene.

A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes on an ornate golden throne carved with lion heads, with a tiger-striped cushion beneath. He wears a multicoloured flower garland, long gold necklaces, bangles, and holds his hands together in his lap while looking to the side. Behind him hangs a backdrop of yellow, red and white marigold garlands and brass hanging bells. In front, silver trays hold flowers, rose petals and oil lamps. Three women in white and light clothing sit with palms pressed together in namaskar, one wearing a red shawl and another a white forehead mark, while a child appears at the lower right. A closed orange metal door and wall air conditioner are visible at the right.
