Two seated men face each other across a gilded setting with ornate golden thrones upheld by carved lion figures, red velvet cushions, and brass oil lamps on the foreground railing. The man on the left sits bare-chested in orange-saffron cloth with a rudraksha mala, a headband, and painted markings on his chest and arm. The man on the right wears a saffron-orange shawl over his body, a long rudraksha mala, a floral headband, and sits with hands resting on the throne. Marble-clad walls and fluorescent lights surround the room.

Two seated figures on ornate gold thrones with deep red velvet cushions, in a marble-walled hall with fluorescent lights and a white air cooler. On the left, an elderly man with a shaved head and a rudraksha-style band wears orange robes, a gold bangle and a gold necklace, one hand raised mid-speech toward a microphone on a stand. On the right, a younger figure with long dark hair wears an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala, smiling and resting a hand on a gold lion-head armrest. Gold carved lion-headed armrests and a gold canopy frame the thrones. a person candidate appearance is uncertain; the seated figure on the left has a shaved head and ordinary orange robes, so identity cannot be confirmed from appearance.

Two seated men on ornate gilded thrones inside a decorated tent with orange and red draped fabric. The figure on the left sits on a gold throne with a carved lion-like armrest, wearing an orange-and-pink wrap, a rudraksha-style bead garland and gold ornaments, holding a silver trident beside him. The figure on the right sits on a second gilded throne in an saffron-orange robe with a long pearl and bead mala, hands folded in his lap. A woman in orange sits at the lower edge of the frame, and silver ceremonial staffs with trident-like tops stand near the thrones. A red sparkly curtain hangs behind them.

Two seated figures in front of an ornate gold throne with carved repoussé back panels and a pink-red painted backdrop. On the left, an older man with white beard and swept-back grey hair wears an orange robe and a red-and-yellow marigold garland, hands folded in his lap, eyes closed. On the right, a figure in a rust-red turban and rust-red robe with a yellow-and-gold border, a long beaded garland and a large pendant, sits on a crimson cushion with gold armrests, hands resting on the lap. A golden ceremonial staff stands at the right edge.

On the left, a man with long dark hair wears an orange-pink shawl, a beaded mala, and a large ceremonial gold necklace, raising one hand in a gesture of address; a trident leans beside him. On the right, a man in a saffron-orange robe with long hair and a pearl and rudraksha mala sits with hands folded, gazing toward the left. Ceremonial items including a silver axe-shaped staff and a kalasha-like finial stand between them, and a lion-form armrest carving is visible.

Two seated figures on ornate gilded thrones in front of a draped backdrop of red and orange fabric with a small red-on-white gathered panel above. The figure on the left sits on a gold throne with a carved lion-like armrest, wearing a peach-pink shawl over an orange-brown garment, layered beaded necklaces, and holding a trident-tipped staff; this figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), given the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces, and rudraksha malas. The figure on the right sits on a gold throne in an orange robe and orange shawl, with white and beaded malas and folded hands.
