A seated man in a saffron-orange robe and matching orange turban sits on an ornate gold-and-brown throne, raising a silver trident in his right hand. He wears a large beaded rudraksha mala with a gold medallion. Standing to his left, a woman in an orange sari reads from papers, and beside her a woman in a cream sari with a green-and-white shawl also holds papers. Behind them is a gold altar holding deity murtis, with a plaque reading Sri Vyambakeshwar, and a striped canopy overhead inside a draped tent.

A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with red cushions is the central focus of a satsang-style gathering on a red carpeted stage. The figure wears an orange-red turban, a saffron-orange robe and a flower garland, and holds a silver staff with a small snake-like ornament. Around him, about a dozen devotees sit on the red carpet in white and red-bordered garments; some have their hands folded in namaste, and a small child in white sits among them. Brass trays with flowers and offerings lie on the carpet. Red drapes, studio lights and a fan frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): the throned figure has an orange turban, saffron robe and garland cues.

A photograph from a stage event with a golden ornate throne set against a backdrop of decorated deity murtis and gold-framed arches. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant sits cross-legged on a brown leather throne with gold lion-head armrests, gesturing with one raised hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gold pendant, with a red shawl draped over the body). Before him a man in a white shirt and white trousers, with a red shawl over his shoulders, bends forward to greet him, and a woman in a red sari with a red-and-orange shawl and bindi stands to the left smiling. A man in a red shirt stands behind them. Flowers in pink and white sit at the right edge.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on a gilded throne with golden lion armrests, a rudraksha mala draped over his chest. He receives a small green packet from a woman in a maroon sari with a gold blouse, who stands at a table decorated with marigold garlands. A silver trident stands at the left. Behind him, a bald man in orange clothing stands, and a woman in a peach sari stands at the right holding an object. Seated devotees fill the foreground and a hall with white walls.

To his left, a white-bearded elder in saffron-orange robes sits on an orange cushioned couch with flower garlands; behind him a shaved-headed man in red-orange clothing with beads stands. On the right, a woman in a white and gold saree with an orange border speaks into a microphone on a stand. A gold trident stands at left and a large golden deity murti with multiple arms is behind the throne, with a red stage floor below.

A photograph of a stage satsang. A man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and an ochre-saffron wrap with gold border, sits on a red velvet throne flanked by golden lion statues, gesturing with his right hand while speaking into a headset microphone. Two women in ochre saffron sarees with gold borders sit beside him: the one on the left wears a black bead necklace and holds her hands together, the one on the right wears a rudraksha mala and looks down at a mobile phone. A large backdrop shows a painted face and a hand. A low gold-trimmed stool sits in front of the throne on a red patterned rug. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a rudraksha mala and a throne setting; the throne is noted only as context.
