A barefoot man with long dark hair and a full beard walks across a hall prepared for a seminar. He wears a rust-orange dhoti-style wrap and a thick yellow-and-orange flower garland over the chest, with gold bangles on his wrist. Nearby, a cameraman films him from a tripod on the right. The room has rows of black chairs, folded orange cloths and red mats on the floor, and a red curtained stage at the back. Gold-coloured ornamental pillars stand at the left edge. Two screens on the walls show a red-clad figure. The man's appearance, with long hair, orange robes and a garland, matches cues the page associates with a person, so this is a probable in-person presence rather than a confirmed identification.

Interior of a hall with cream walls and framed photographs hung above maroon curtains. Stacks of folded colourful mats and rolled bolsters sit on the glossy white floor at right, beside cardboard boxes. At left, gilded peacock-shaped seats or stands on wheeled bases and a low wooden bench with a red cushion are arranged among stacked red and black chairs. No people are visible in the room.

A photograph of a large hall with a polished white floor and a maroon curtain backdrop across the stage area. Rows of black chairs with red seats are arranged on the floor, and a long peach-coloured runner stretches down the centre aisle. Several people are working at the left side near a golden ornamental structure, one man wearing a saffron-brown garment and beads. A man in a white shirt sits near the right edge among chairs. Framed pictures hang on the left wall, and a dark signboard sits on the back wall. The scene appears to be a setup in progress before an event.

Indoor hall with white tiled ceiling and fluorescent lights, maroon curtains, and a large framed deity image on the right wall. A bare-chested man with long swept-back hair and a full beard, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti, a white-and-gold flower garland, and gold bangles, walks across the floor toward the left. Behind him a cameraman films from a tripod. On the right, rows of seated people in white and yellow clothes sit on mats with hands pressed together in prayer. Floor mats hold orange cloths and bags, and chairs are stacked at the left. Two screens show a bearded figure in saffron. Probable Swamiji, the man walking, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron dhoti and garland.

A wide photograph of a stage inside a hall with a corrugated metal roof and maroon draped curtains. A person in orange and white robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a gold umbrella canopy, a microphone stand before them, and orange garlands and flowers on the seat. Two tall gold ceremonial staffs stand at the right edge of the stage. Seated devotees in orange robes and white saris sit on the floor at the right, and a projection screen hangs on the wall beside the stage. The seated figure has long hair, and the appearance is consistent with a person seated in a teaching role on the throne, though the face is too small to confirm.

A barefoot man in a maroon-red sleeveless robe and matching dhoti walks across a polished hall floor past rows of black plastic chairs. He wears a yellow-and-orange flower garland and a long brown rudraksha mala with a gold ceremonial pendant, plus a red tilak on his forehead, and a wrist bracelet. Behind him hangs a deep red curtain, and red floor mats, folded orange cloths, bags and a pink yoga mat lie around the room.

A photograph inside a hall with a red velvet curtain behind an ornate gold throne with a red seat cushion and a canopy with a fringed umbrella. In the centre foreground, a woman in an orange saffron sari with red border walks across the concrete floor, holding her hands together at her chest. Behind her, a procession of people in orange and saffron robes carries objects, including a brass tray and a tall teal-and-gold ceremonial item, while others in white clothing follow. A decorative woven banner hangs from the ceiling at right. The figure walking is a woman, so she is not a person. The people in the procession are a group of about six to eight visible devotees and attendants, with some partially visible at the doorway.
