A photograph of a seated figure in an orange robe on a white cushioned throne in front of deep red velvet drapes, with a red carpet and a small table holding a glass and a bell-like object. The seated figure has long, swept-back dark hair and wears orange ornate clothing, and is raising a hand in a blessing gesture. A woman in white with an orange shawl kneels before the throne with palms pressed together in namaste. A man in white with an orange shawl stands nearby, and several people in white and orange clothing stand along the right side of the hall beneath colourful woven banners. Swamiji (probable) is seated on the throne, identified by long swept-back hair and orange ornate clothing.

A photograph inside a hall with red and maroon drapes and a large framed backdrop. On the right, a person in long swept-back dark hair and a saffron/orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet back and a carved lion-shaped footrest, gesturing with a raised hand while speaking. Two devotees kneel before the throne, one older man in white with folded hands and another person bent low in white on a white-draped platform in front. Standing in a line on the left are several men in white dhotis and white shirts, one holding a small boy's hand, along with others in saffron wraps. Colourful woven and flower-garlanded banners hang behind, and a standing fan and a gold parasol-like canopy are visible above the throne. A young girl in white sits at the right edge. Several people appear in the scene, with a visible group of roughly six to ten.

A microphone on a stand is at the lower left, a standing fan is behind the seat, and a line of white-clad people stands along the back wall. A green banner with partial English text is at the left edge.

A photograph of an indoor initiation-style gathering in a plain room with pale walls, two electric fans and a wooden cabinet. A long-haired figure in orange robes sits on a cream upholstered chair, gesturing with raised hands and smiling. Before them a woman in white and orange kneels with bowed head and hands pressed together, and a walking stick leans against the chair. Several men in white shirts sit on the floor in the foreground, seen from behind. Three hanging banners on stands behind show portraits of saffron-clad and turbaned figures, with printed captions and text. A seated figure in orange with long hair and a crown-like bearing may be the a person candidate, but the appearance cues are not sufficiently distinctive to confirm the identity.

A dimly lit indoor photograph of a seated figure in an orange saffron garment, bare-chested with long dark hair, on a white-draped chair with a microphone clipped to the armrest. A man in white clothes kneels on a white sheet in front of the chair, leaning forward with hands extended. Behind them, several people dressed in white stand or sit, including a man in white with a rudraksha mala and women in white and light saris. A fluorescent tube light is visible on the wall.

A photograph of an indoor stage event with a large backdrop portrait of a bearded, long-haired man. A woman with long dark hair in an orange robe and a gold necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with a small canopy, one hand raised in greeting, speaking into a microphone. A bearded man in white clothing and an orange shawl kneels on a white mattress before her with hands joined, while a man in white with an orange shawl kneels at right gesturing toward the throne. Behind them on the floor, about a dozen men in white robes and orange shawls sit in rows, some wearing rudraksha malas. Colourful woven and beaded hangings and flower garlands decorate the stage, and a standing fan is visible at left. Persons are seated and kneeling, not in procession.
