Three men sit on ornate gold thrones on a stage with a red and gold backdrop and a gilded carved horse figure above. On the left, a man in an orange turban and orange robes sits with his hands folded. In the centre, an older bald man with tilak marks wears an orange-saffron robe and a headset microphone, seated beside a small gold lion-footed table. On the right, a man with long swept-back hair, a beard, gold ceremonial necklaces and a rudraksha-style mala sits on a red-cushioned gold throne in a rust-brown robe, holding a white mala in his hands, with a microphone stand in front of him. Potted green plants and a brass staff stand nearby.

A seated figure in a red-orange turban and saffron-red robe, wearing a long gold-and-beaded necklace with rudraksha beads, sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a tiered kalasha-style canopy. The throne is flanked by carved golden lion-like guardian figures and gilded pillars with relief sculptures of deities and dancers. A microphone on a stand stands in front of the throne, and a tiger-striped cloth covers the seat. Wine-red velvet drapes frame the stage, and a bare-chested figure with long swept-back hair and a crown-like turban suggests a discourse setting.

Three seated men on a golden stage before an ornate gold backdrop with a carved lion and floral decor. On the right, a man with long dark hair, a beard, red-brown robes and a heavy gold necklace holds a mala and sits on a gold-carved throne with red cushions, a microphone stand in front of him. Beside him, a man in saffron-orange robes wears an earpiece, and a man in an orange vest and saffron shawl sits on a gold chair. Golden side tables and a colourful patterned floor rug complete the scene.

A man seated cross-legged on a large gilded throne before dark red velvet drapes, dressed in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala and gold necklaces, bangles on his arms, and a vibhuti or tilak mark on his forehead. He sits on a cushioned seat flanked by golden lion figures, with a gilded peetha footstool in front and a white armchair with a person in orange at the right edge. A patterned rug covers the floor and a fruit basket sits at the lower left. Probable Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklaces, seated on a throne during a satsang.

Two men sit on ornate gold-carved thrones on a stage decorated with painted guardian figures holding tridents and maces. The man on the left wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a gold crown, a red and white flower garland, and holds a ceremonial staff. The man on the right, seated before a microphone stand, wears a rust-brown dhoti, a gold crown, and a long white and red flower garland. A third person in orange robes and an orange head wrap sits behind them on a smaller gold throne, with red carpets on the floor and hanging brass lamps above. Some of the visible seating appears to be a formal pontiff's installation setting. Three people are visible.

Photo of a satsang stage with a red curtain backdrop and a stone-look temple facade. On the left, a man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a microphone stand before him. On the right, a smiling man in a dark cap, saffron-red robes, rudraksha mala and gold necklace sits on a larger gold throne with lion and elephant carvings, his hands resting on his lap. A bald priest in an orange-red shawl stands between them. Below, white-clad attendants and devotees sit on the floor, one holding a bowl, with flower garlands along the stage edges. The right figure has distinctive ceremonial cues (dark cap, rudraksha, gold necklace) and is shown as the honoured central figure; the left figure is a seated speaker in saffron robes.

A seated man on an ornate gold throne with a carved golden back and two gold lion figures on the arms, draped with a leopard-skin cloth on the seat. He wears saffron-orange robes, a long gold ceremonial necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, and holds a gold ceremonial staff in one hand while smiling. The background is deep red velvet drapery. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and ornate gold regalia on a throne are present, so this is a depiction of the Paramashivam seated in state.

A photograph of a stage with two ornate golden thrones draped in red velvet cushions, set before a maroon velvet curtain. On the right, a figure with long dark hair wearing an orange-red garment and multiple garlands sits with hands folded, smiling. On the left, a bearded older man in saffron/orange robes with a red cushion sits on a smaller throne, gesturing with one hand. At far left stands a golden canopy shrine adorned with a large floral garland of orange and yellow marigolds, holding a deity murti. Lion-figure armrests and carved gold details decorate the thrones.
