Stage event with several saffron-clad sadhus seated at silver low tables, each with a tray of orange marigold garlands. The central seated figure, in orange with a long pearl necklace, sits beside a bearded man in a saffron turban. Standing behind them, a woman in white with a red-brown shawl holds a microphone, and a woman in red with a beaded necklace and dark blindfold-style eye covering speaks into a mic. Other standing men wear orange robes, garlands and red shawls. An ornate silver throne with a decorated canopy and a silver umbrella-like top frames the stage, with a deity murti at the right edge and a red-and-orange drape behind.

A stage event with a gilded throne at the back and a red curtain. A standing man in a white shirt and white trousers holds a handheld microphone and speaks. Seated on the stage, a man in a cream kurta with a rudraksha mala laughs, and a bearded man in a white dhoti with a gold-bordered shawl and bare chest with white body markings sits beside him. An older man on the left wears a white dhoti with a gold border, a gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, and stands near a man in white. To the right, a woman in orange robes wears rudraksha malas and gold necklaces, and another person in orange sits near the gilded throne. Several people are visible, including partially seen figures near the throne.

A seated man on an ornate gold-and-red throne with his eyes closed and palms pressed together, wearing an orange saffron shawl over a leopard-print top, long dark hair swept back and a tilak on his forehead. Around him devotees kneel in prayer with folded hands: a woman in a teal blouse and cream sari, a woman in a yellow sari, a man in a white shirt with rudraksha mala, and others in white. Brass trays of flowers and fruit sit in front of the throne, and a gold-framed side table holds more offerings. The setting is a hall with a dark blue curtain and a painted temple backdrop on the right. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron shawl, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) on a throne being honoured during a pada puja.

A photograph of a stage event with a blue backdrop and white carved arch, edged by a garland of orange and red flowers. An elderly man in orange robes sits in a wheelchair at left, hands pressed together in greeting. Beside him stand saffron-robed monks, one in an orange turban and others with shaved heads. At centre, a tall figure in orange robes and an orange turban, with a red-and-white garland, stands with palms joined toward the seated man, and holds a small printed sheet. To the right, men in white kurtas and dark trousers with lanyards stand by, and monks in orange sit at the far right on a red carpet. Silver draping covers the front of the stage.
