A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with a white-and-red flower garland and rudraksha beads sits on a golden throne with a golden lion-head armrest, smiling and resting his hands on a white cloth. Before him a man in a white shirt and white dhoti holds out a basket of fruit and sweets wrapped in cellophane, while another man in white leans forward to receive it. Behind them a priest in white with a bare chest and rudraksha mala stands near a deity murti decorated with a multicoloured flower garland and gold ornaments. Other men in white and saffron stand in the background against red curtains.

A seated figure in an orange-red turban with a feather-like crest, wearing a white and red flower garland and a gold ceremonial necklace over orange-saffron robes, smiles while receiving an offering from a brass-lidded box held before him. Standing beside him, a man in a white shirt and rudraksha mala presses his palms together in greeting, while a shaved-headed priest in orange robes and a gold necklace stands nearby. Another man in white ritual clothes with a rudraksha mala holds his hands together, and more people are blurred in the background near stone pillars and a golden throne at right. The appearance-based label of the seated figure is Swamiji (probable), based on his orange turban, saffron robes, garlands and gold ornaments, though his identity is not certain.

Indoor temple-style scene at a Guru Purnima satsang. A seated man in an orange-red turban, orange-red robe and layered red-and-white flower garlands sits on a gold-trimmed throne, smiling. Beside him a man in a white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha beads stands, bending to offer a flower garland to an elderly man in white. Two women in the foreground watch, one in a red-orange top with flower garland, another in white with a dark shawl. Behind the throne stand a golden lion-form seat decorated with yellow and red flower garlands, a brass oil lamp and a carved wooden pillar.

A photograph inside a marble-walled hall showing a seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha-adorned gold necklace, wearing a red-and-gold headband, seated on a red cushioned throne with gold carved armrest. Two men in white shirts and white dhotis stand before him; the foremost holds a long gold staff and the other holds a red-and-orange bundle with an orange ribbon, while a box rests on a low white stand. Another man in white stands at right with a rudraksha mala, and a person in orange robes is partly visible behind. Appearance-based cues on the seated figure include saffron clothing, a ceremonial gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, so this is a person in person seated in a throne-like seat receiving ceremonial items from attendants.

A seated man in a saffron-orange robe with a gold beaded necklace and gold bangles sits on a red and gold throne in a tent decorated with red and orange drapes and tassels. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt bends forward to receive prasad from a brass tray held by a younger white-clad attendant. A smiling attendant in white with a rudraksha mala stands nearby, and a woman in white smiles at right. A gilded deity murti is visible at upper right. Calling the seated man a person based on the orange robe, long gold necklace and seat of honour, with his face not used for identification.

A photograph inside a temple hall with stone pillars. A seated man on a gold-and-red throne wears a saffron-orange turban, a saffron robe, a white jasmine garland with red flower strands, and a gold chain; he is smiling and raising one hand in greeting. To his left, a man in a white shirt and white trousers with a rudraksha mala stands with palms pressed together in anjali. Beside him a bald priest in an orange shawl also has hands folded. Behind, a younger man in white dhoti and shawl with a rudraksha mala and a red-and-saffron cloth, and an older man with hands in namaste, are visible. A gold kalasha-topped box rests on a stand in front. Several other people stand in the background.

A photograph inside a marble-walled hall of a man in a white shirt and white trousers with spectacles and a moustache reaching out to offer a small silver-coloured object to a seated figure. The seated figure wears an orange-red saffron garment, a long gold bead necklace with a pendant, a red floral headband and a sandalwood-marked forehead, and sits on a red-cushioned seat before an ornate gold throne with a sunburst back. Behind them a standing man in an orange-and-yellow robe with a gold bead necklace and a shaved head smiles, and a crowd of onlookers in white and blue crowds the frame. A hand with bracelets reaches in from the right. The figure appears to be a person by appearance, with long hair swept back, ornate gold necklace and saffron clothing, seated in an honoured position.

A man in a rust-orange turban and orange-and-maroon robes stands before a gold-framed throne, smiling and wearing a long garland of red, white and yellow flowers over a rudraksha-style beaded necklace.

Behind them, a shaved-headed man in orange robes and a man in a white shirt with a badge observe; a man in a white shirt with glasses stands at right beside a golden-edged dais and offerings.
