A seated man on an ornate silver throne in front of a golden carved wall with lattice panels and a silver canopy overhead. He wears an orange-saffron robe, a rudraksha mala, and a yellow flower crown, with his hands resting on the leopard-print cushion. Around the low railing, several women and a man sit on the floor facing him: women in orange and saffron garments and white-and-gold sarees, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with an orange shawl, and a woman in a light cream outfit. A visible dais edge and a green gift bag sit at the lower right. Probable Swamiji cues: the throned figure has a flower crown, saffron robe and rudraksha mala.

A seated man in a rust-orange robe with a rudraksha mala and a gold-yellow halo-like crown sits on an ornate white-and-silver throne with a leopard-print cushion, set against gold-painted carved panels and a red curtain. Several devotees sit on the floor in front, facing him: women in orange and cream saris, a man in an orange shawl over white dhoti, and a woman in beige. A brass railing separates the seating area. The seated figure appears to be the presiding guru on the throne, consistent with a satsang setting, and the appearance cues (orange robe, rudraksha mala, crowned throne) are distinctive.

A photo inside a gold-decorated temple hall during a satsang. A man seated on an ornate golden throne with a crown above and a garland of yellow and red flowers behind him wears a red-orange robe, a red-orange turban and a rudraksha mala. A row of devotees in white and cream clothes sit on the floor facing him, several with hair in braids or buns, and a few wearing red or orange shawls. Gold lion and deity sculptures flank the throne, with a trident leaning on the right. Attendants in white stand at the back left. Swamiji (probable): the seated man in red-orange robes wears a turban, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial necklace, which are cues for the page's claim, so the figure is treated as a probable candidate in person.

A man with long dark swept-back hair sits on an ornate gold throne with lion-carved arms, draped over a tiger-striped cushion. He wears a saffron-orange garment with a yellow border, a gold necklace with a pendant, a thick rudraksha-style mala, and gold bangles; his feet rest on the golden footstool. a person is seated centrally as the figure of honour. Before him are many silver and brass plates of flowers, fruit, sweets and offerings, with a red-and-white flower arrangement at the centre. A man in white clothes sits cross-legged at the right holding an offering, a woman in white and a bald man in saffron with white forehead markings sit beside him, and hanging brass bells and oil lamps decorate the black wall behind.

A seated man in a red-and-maroon robe and red turban sits on a gold throne (peetha) decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands, a gold lion-shaped armrest beside him. He wears a red beaded mala and a gold necklace and holds his hands together while speaking. A gold trident stands to his right. Around the low dais, a seated crowd of devotees in white and cream traditional dress, many women with hair in braids or buns, sits with brass plates of offerings (naivedyam) and flowers. Gold-painted pillars and colourful painted deity figures frame the hall. Swamiji (probable) appears as the central seated figure, a candidate identified from his red robe, red turban and ornate gold necklace, shown in the role of the presiding guru on the throne.

A seated bearded man in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha malas sits on an ornate gilded and silver throne with a yellow crown-like headdress, smiling. Several women in orange and white saris sit on a rug in front of him, with their backs to the camera, listening to a satsang. A brass railing separates the seating area from the throne platform, and gold-patterned panels and red curtains frame the stage.

A photograph of a satsang in a gilded hall. A man seated on a leopard-print cushioned throne before a golden lion-form stand has long swept-back dreadlocks, a golden crown, bare chest and an orange-saffron shawl, with his palms pressed together in greeting; this figure matches the Swamiji (probable) cues of hair, crown and saffron clothing. Around him, devotees sit on the floor: a woman in a white sari with an orange headcloth and rudraksha beads holds a small brass vessel, another woman in white and red holds a lit oil lamp, and several people in white and orange clothes sit in a semicircle. A standing woman in yellow pours from a vessel, and a brass statue of a standing figure stands behind a gold railing near a red curtain.
