A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long orange shawl sits on a gold-carved throne decorated with garlands in red, purple, yellow and green. He wears multiple red and white flower garlands and a rudraksha mala, and holds a ceremonial staff. Before him the floor is heaped with orange and white marigold petals and flowers. Several men in white dhotis with gold borders stand to the left, one bare-chested with a mala, and a man in a dark striped shirt bends forward to touch the petals. A red curtain forms the backdrop.

A photograph of a seated man in an orange robe on an ornate gold throne decorated with a large arch of marigold and rose garlands in yellow, red, purple and white. He wears layered beaded necklaces with a rudraksha-style mala, a red garland, bangles and a shawl. Several devotees sit on the floor before him, including a woman in white with a red blouse and a man in orange, and a woman in white with a gold border kneeling with joined palms. Brass oil lamps stand beside the throne and a painted backdrop of a large tree is behind it. The man's appearance with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads fits the Swamiji (probable) cues, and the page places him at this satsang, so he is shown in person seated in a teaching role among devotees.

A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, wearing an orange saffron robe, a multi-strand ornate gold necklace and rudraksha beads, sits on a throne heaped with white jasmine petals, yellow marigolds and red roses, with large garlands behind him. A man in a white shirt bows low with his head pressed to the flowers before the throne, while the seated figure smiles and raises one hand in blessing. Probable Swamiji, the seated figure, is distinguished by the long hair, saffron robe and gold ornaments, and is being honoured by a devotee at a flower-decked dais.

A seated figure with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange-saffron garment, a rudraksha-style mala, a gold necklace and a red-and-white floral garland, and sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like armrests. Behind him a large arrangement of multicoloured flowers in purple, yellow, red and white decorates a gilded shrine structure with a golden deity murti. In front, a man in a white shirt and white trousers folds his hands in namaskaram, while a man in a white dhoti and a standing devotee with a rudraksha mala press their palms together nearby. A red tray with flowers rests at the throne's right side, and red carpeting covers the floor.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes wears an ornate golden crown and a long rudraksha-style necklace with gold pendants, smiling broadly on a throne heavily decorated with garlands of red, yellow, purple and white flowers. A golden sun-motif fan-shaped emblem stands to the right. In the foreground, several seated devotees with their backs to the camera, including one in a white shirt and one in beige, face the throne, with a golden ornamental pillar behind. The scene suggests a satsang or darshan setting. Swamiji (probable) is cued by the saffron robes, crown, multiple rudraksha-style malas and gold necklaces, seated on a flower-decorated throne as the honoured teacher.

Seated before him, a woman in a white sari with a red border and a man in orange robes with a white headband attend the offerings. A woman in an orange sari with a rudraksha mala sits at the left. Brass bells and a gold kalasha-style lamp hang behind the throne.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a red shawl sits on a throne backed by a large floral arrangement of red, yellow, purple and white flowers, with a golden lion-headed armrest in front. He wears layered garlands of red and yellow beads and smiles broadly. To the left, a man in a white turban and white clothing with rudraksha beads and a dark sling bag stands beside the throne, and a white-clad elderly man bends forward at right. Gilded carved panels and a purple backdrop frame the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron robes and ceremonial garlands, and the page links this event to Swamiji.

A photograph of a man seated on a throne-like seat heavily decorated with a dense floral arrangement of red roses, pink and white blooms, yellow marigolds, and purple flowers, with a golden ornate backrest behind him. He wears an orange-brown turban, bare-chested with an orange-brown cloth draped at the waist, a golden armband, and a pink and white flower garland around his neck, smiling. In the foreground at right, a man in white clothing and a dark rudraksha-style mala bends forward toward him, apparently offering reverence. Brass hanging lamps and a dark background appear above.

Photograph of a long-haired man seated on an ornate throne covered in white, yellow, orange and red garlands and flower strands. He wears an orange-saffron robe draped over his shoulders and lap, a white and multicoloured flower garland, and a red tilak on his forehead, smiling as he sits with bare feet on a silver lotus-shaped stool. Attendants in white and a partially visible person in white and yellow stand beside the throne, one reaching toward the robe. The throne has a red velvet backrest and gold lion-shaped armrests. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe, garlands and ornate throne match the page's described Gurupoornima celebration at a seated, honoured figure.

A smiling man with long dark hair and a shaved-looking forehead sits on an ornate cream and gold throne flanked by golden lion heads. He wears a gold necklace, a rudraksha-style pink and white flower garland, gold bangles and an orange-gold cloth. He holds a gold kalasha pot with a green ribbon and white flowers in both hands. Behind him is a large backdrop of red, yellow, purple and white flower petals arranged in arches, with a golden temple-style structure above and orchids on the left. This appears to be a Pattabhishekam ceremony with a kalasha. Appearance suggests a person seated in a ceremonial role.
