Night photograph of an indoor satsang event with bright stage lights glaring in the background. A man with long hair, wearing an orange turban and orange-saffron shawl with a gold-toned garland of beads, sits on a white-draped seat with a bowl of fruit and flowers beside him. He is turned toward a devotee in a green-and-yellow checked shirt who holds a small card and a white envelope. Two other men stand beside them, one in a white shirt kneeling and offering a white card, another in a red-patterned shirt with hands pressed together. Behind them a man in white stands near a microphone stand and a wooden podium. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's orange turban, saffron shawl and gold-toned bead garland are the qualifying cues, shown receiving devotees' offerings.

A photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron robe and orange head wrap, wearing a long fresh garland of white flowers, marigolds and red blooms, receiving small folded papers from devotees in an indoor hall.

Behind them a white air cooler stands beside a small decorated deity murti with flower garlands, a brass kalasha-like pot sits on the floor, and a wall has a decorative red and blue banner. Several other people in white stand in the background.

Night-time outdoor darshan at a large stage event. A seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban, with a rudraksha mala and a long beaded necklace, extends a hand over a white tray of offerings. Beside him a red wooden box holds rudraksha malas and gold-toned ornaments. Devotees in white and cream clothing kneel and bow with joined hands, while women in white saris with yellow borders stand nearby. A large crowd in white fills the background under stage lights, with a saffron-clad attendant at the upper left. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure in orange with the turban and rudraksha mala, giving darshan to devotees.

A figure seated on a white-draped throne-like seat decorated with white jasmine garlands and red roses, wearing an orange turban, orange robes and a red rudraksha-style garland with a gold ornament at the chest, raises one hand in blessing toward devotees. A probable Swamiji candidate with orange turban, orange robes, swept hair and ornate gold chest ornament. Nearby, men in white shirts and dhotis stand with palms joined in greeting, one older man in white with glasses, and a woman in a red-orange shawl stands at right. A silver tray with offerings lies on a white-draped table in front. Dusk sky and dark trees form the background.

The seated figure, with long dark hair, extends hands to clasp the hands of a smiling middle-aged man in a white checked short-sleeved shirt and grey trousers. Several men in white, pale and striped shirts stand behind him, and a man with glasses and a grey beard appears at right in orange robes. A brass oil lamp stands on the stage beside a wooden podium, a small black device sits on the platform, and a wall of red-lit seats and strings of lights fills the background.

A figure in an orange turban and saffron garment, wearing a white flower garland with green leaves and gold bangles, stands at the right. A man in a light blue shirt reaches toward the figure's forehead, and other men in white and pink shirts stand nearby. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron clothing, long hair, garland and gold bangles fit the candidate's cues, but the face is not used for identification.

Around them, men in white shirts with rudraksha malas and one man with a red tilak mark hold the gold vessel and offer items, while devotees in orange and white stand behind.
