A seated man with long, swept-back dark hair, a red vibhuti mark on his forehead, and a thick rudraksha mala with a gold-toned ornate necklace, dressed in a red-orange shawl and rust-coloured garment, sits with palms pressed together in anjali mudra. Behind him, other people in red garments and rudraksha malas also stand with hands folded in a dim stage setting. A silver staff rests in the left foreground beside a dark leather chair.

A seated man with long dark hair and a red-orange shawl draped over a bare shoulder presses his palms together in anjali mudra in front of his chest. He wears a thick multi-strand red-orange rudraksha mala with ornate gold-toned beads and a gold ring, and a tilak marks his forehead. Behind him, figures in red-orange garments and red beaded malas also hold their hands in prayer. A silver staff with a decorative finial stands at left beside a dark throne-like chair, under purple-tinged stage lighting, with audience members in the dim background.

A photograph of a long-haired man seated on an ornate red upholstered throne with gold trim, palms pressed together in namaste at chest height, eyes lowered. He wears an orange-red shawl draped over bare shoulders, an orange beaded rudraksha-style mala across the chest, and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him, a man in a white shirt sits with hands folded in a darkened hall. The setting suggests a satsang gathering. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron-orange shawl and beaded mala, and is seated on a throne.

A man seated in a red leather throne-style chair with his palms pressed together in prayer, eyes lowered. He has voluminous dark hair with a multicoloured flower garland on top, rudraksha beads and a gold pendant necklace, and wears a maroon garment with a leopard-print wrap at the waist. Behind him to the left, several people sit in a dim, blue-lit hall, including a woman in a white garment with red beads and a bald man in glasses. Smoke or haze drifts across the left side.

A photograph taken at night indoors of a seated figure in a large red leather throne-style chair, hands pressed together in anjali mudra. The figure wears a maroon-red wrap over a leopard-print garment, with long red-brown rudraksha-style beaded malas and a gold necklace, and has flowers in dark hair. The person in the chair is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: ornate red-brown beaded malas, reddish ceremonial wrap and flowers in swept-back hair, seated on a throne in a ritual setting. To the left, a woman in white sits cross-legged with eyes closed. Behind them, a seated audience and standing people in white and red-lanyard clothing fill the dim background, with a bald man wearing glasses in the lower left.

A photograph taken at night outdoors of a seated person in a large dark-red leather throne-style chair with carved wooden arms and a silver trident leaning on the left. The seated figure wears a saffron-orange draped garment, a heavy beaded red-orange mala necklace and gold bangles, with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind the chair, two men in white garments with orange shawls also stand with palms pressed together, and to the right a man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala stands beside the throne. Blurred lights and a dim crowd appear in the background. The seated figure is the main subject and fits the throne and saffron-orange cues, with a rudraksha mala and ceremonial necklace; the figure's appearance is consistent with a person receiving honour at the event.
