A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with a red-bordered cloth and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala sits on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushions, in front of a painted backdrop of a large banyan tree. Several people stand around him: a man in a white shirt and dark trousers at left, a man in orange dhoti and shawl at left-centre, a man in a striped light shirt leaning in toward the seated figure with his hands raised near him, and a woman in a white sari with gold border at right. The seated figure has long dark hair and is barefoot on a red footstool. Gold-tinted throne carvings and a bright white-and-gold sari dominate the scene. The image is a photograph of an indoor ceremonial setting.

A seated figure in an orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, garlanded in yellow and purple flowers, with a gold lion figure at the base. The figure holds a wooden staff and extends a hand toward a man in a white dhoti and shirt seated in a wheelchair. Another man in white shirt pushes the wheelchair from the right. Men in white shirts stand behind with bamboo leaves and green backdrop behind the throne.

A photo of a devotional audience in an indoor hall with a red and gold backdrop and a large painted tree mural. A seated figure in orange robes and long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, smiling, with a bowl of fruit and flowers before the throne. A man in a striped top kneels on the striped mat before the throne, while a man in a grey shirt and dark trousers and others in white and orange stand nearby. A woman in white with a yellow shawl stands at right and another woman in a yellow shawl sits behind the throne. Other people in orange and white clothing are at the edges, and a kalasha-style red and gold setting frames the scene. The seated figure has distinctive long hair and orange robes, with a probable identification as Swamiji based on these cues.

A photograph of a ceremonial padapuja on a stage. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with long swept-back dark hair, a red tilak on the forehead, and layered beaded and ornamental necklaces, sits on an ornate gold throne with red zebra-striped cushions. The figure rests a hand on the head of a man in a pink shirt and grey trousers who bends forward to touch the feet. Around them stand several men in white kurtas and a woman in a yellow shawl, with a painted backdrop of large trees behind the throne.

A seated elderly man in a wheelchair, wearing a green collared shirt and dark trousers with a rudraksha mala, receives a blessing from a figure seated on a gold and red throne. The seated figure wears a saffron-orange robe, long dark hair, a gold necklace and rudraksha beads, and places a hand on the man's head while holding his hands. Standing attendants in white dhotis and white kurtas, one with a yellow shawl, watch nearby. A woman in white is at right and a woman in grey sari with a red bindi sits in the lower right corner. The throne rests on a red carpet with a garland of white flowers at its base, and a painted forest backdrop of banyan trees stands behind. The scene resembles a paadapuja or darshan blessing; the seated figure is a probable match to Swamiji by appearance cues including long hair, saffron robe, gold necklace and rudraksha, with the throne also present.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned seat and floral garlands above, against a warm orange and yellow backdrop. The central figure wears an orange-saffron robe draped over the shoulder, with long dark hair and eyes closed, appearing to be the a person candidate with a probable presentation (long hair, saffron clothing). He is being honoured: a young girl in an orange dress holds his hand and rudraksha mala, while a woman in a white sari with a gold border stands at right with her hands near him. Two men in white shirts stand at left, one with palms joined in greeting. Fruit sits on the golden base in front.
