A posed group photograph on a white-tiled platform before a white throne-like seat. A man in orange-red robes stands centre with long dark hair, a red forehead mark and a hands-folded greeting, a hand raised in blessing; the appearance is a probable Swamiji candidate with long swept hair and saffron clothing. Seated at left, a man in white dhoti and shirt with a gold chain palms together in namaste; behind him a man in white with an orange scarf does the same. At right, a woman in pink sari and bangles folds her hands, and an older woman in a yellow-green patterned sari sits with a beaded mala. A small boy in a striped shirt and jeans sits in front. Behind them an orange-draped altar holds a framed deity portrait with marigold garlands, brass lamps, kalasha and flowers.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair and a red tilak sits in an orange cushioned armchair on an orange-tiled platform, with brass oil lamps, a garlanded golden urn and a red-and-gold shrine behind him. Probable Swamiji (long swept-back hair, orange robes, rudraksha-style setting not visible; seated throne-like chair). A man in a blue-and-white checked shirt kneels at his feet beside a small child in a blue silk outfit, and a woman in a red and pink patterned sari bends forward touching the floor near the seated figure's feet. A standing young man in white kurta and dhoti wears a yellow shawl at the back right. Offerings are visible on a wooden tray at left.

A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold and red throne in an orange sannyasi-style robe with a gold necklace, long swept-back hair and a tilted head, with his bare feet resting on a yellow-orange cloth. Several devotees kneel and sit before him with palms pressed together in namaste: a woman in a purple sari, a shaved-headed boy in a striped shirt, a woman in a grey shawl, an older woman in black with an orange scarf, and a man in white with an orange shawl standing behind. Brass plates of offerings, marigold and flower petals, and white flowers on the throne frame the scene against a red curtain and a pedestal fan. Appearance cues match a person enthroned in a satsang setting, with the title and excerpt indicating a July 22 2012 event.

A man seated on a carved wooden chair with his palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed, in front of a silver bowl and a banana leaf holding yellow turmeric or kumkum powder, rice and a small wooden item. He wears a saffron-orange robe over a red sleeveless top, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a red tilak on his forehead. A woman in a white sari sits to the right. Orange and red floor mats cover the carpeted hall. Appearance is consistent with a long-haired figure in saffron, and the page indicates a person is present, so this is a person performing a puja or padapuja.
