A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing a red and white flower garland and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Around the throne, men in white dhotis and shirts stand with red-and-gold shawls, a boy in white shirt stands at left, and women in cream and lavender saris stand at right beside a golden trident on a pole. The backdrop is a glowing red stage with gold and bronze discs. The throne setting suggests a formal satsang or discourse, with the bright red carpet and white-robed attendants present.

A seated man on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion and gold canopy umbrella, wearing a red and maroon ceremonial garment, a red turban, a gold-coloured necklace and multiple beaded chains, with a broad smile. a person appearance cues include the elaborate red ceremonial attire, gold ornaments and throne presentation. Two attendants in white dhotis with gold borders and red turbans stand behind him, and a man in white with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge. Seated devotees in the foreground wear marigold garlands; one woman in a green sari sits at left and a woman in patterned clothing sits at right. A patterned red carpet covers the floor in a large hotel-style hall with recessed lighting and purple patterned wall panels.

The central figure wears a red robe, a long multicolour flower garland and gold necklaces, with a red tilak on the forehead and hair swept back. Two crossed silver tridents flank the throne. Standing and kneeling around are devotees: a man in white with clasped hands at left, a man in an orange dhoti and rudraksha mala beside the throne, a woman in a white sari with a red-and-white shawl at right, and a woman in red beside her. Rose petals lie on a red cushioned platform at the foot of the throne, where a priest in white with a red shawl kneels at left. The scene reads as a pratyaksha padapuja on a throne, with the seated figure described only by role.

A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a matching saffron head wrap sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, holding a silver trident and wearing a long white-and-orange flower garland. Before him, a seated devotee in white garments with red shawl and red-and-white beaded necklace is pouring or offering from a silver plate of petals, while a man in white with a red shawl kneels and cups his hands in prayer. Women in white and red shawls sit on the carpeted floor with hands folded, and silver bowls, flowers and offering trays lie nearby. Ornate silver columns and red drapery frame the scene. Appearance-based candidate for the figure on the throne: Swamiji (probable), identified by saffron robes, swept hair, a crown-style head wrap, ceremonial garland and trident; the page's Pada Puja context matches the foot-worship offering shown.

A seated man in orange-red robes, wearing a red turban-style headdress with a gold ornament, gold necklaces and a white-and-red flower garland, sits with eyes closed and feet bare on the throne. A dark-skinned attendant in a red garment stands at left holding a sacred object near brass lamps, while a bare-chested priest in white dhoti sits lower right beside seated men in white. A gold trident stands behind the throne and a golden deity murti in a tall arch appears at the top. Brass oil lamps flank the stage.

Indoor ritual scene in a hall with a gilded golden lion throne and a golden lion figure. A man seated on a red-brown cushioned throne wears a dark maroon turban with a white feather, a maroon-brown robe, arm bands and a long multicoloured garland of red, green and white flowers. A woman in white kurta with a red shawl sits with eyes closed, hands folded. Several people in white and red-trimmed clothes sit around a low table with brass plates of flowers, fruit and offerings. A small framed portrait of a saffron-turbaned figure sits on a shelf beside a golden lion. A large screen and a tropical landscape photo hang on the walls. The man on the throne shows an appearance consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, with a turban, a long garland and distinctive maroon robes, so this is a probable candidate.
