A seated figure in a red-orange turban and an orange-and-gold wrap, wearing a yellow flower garland and a bare-shouldered look with a sandalwood mark, sits on a gold-carved throne against a red tent backdrop, extending a hand to receive an offering. A man in a white shirt and dark trousers bends forward, holding out a small orange fruit, while a young boy in a yellow outfit kneels beside him. Several women in saris, one in green and one in orange, stand in the background. This appears to be a darshan moment where devotees offer fruit to the seated figure; the seated figure is an appearance-based probable Swamiji (probable), identified by the turban, garland, orange wrap and throne cues.

A photograph of a ritual in a decorated room hung with orange, pink, blue and teal drapes and marigold garlands. A man with long swept-back hair, a white forehead mark, a red and white flower garland and an ornate gold-trimmed cushioned seat holds a silver ceremonial staff. He appears to be the central figure. Seated before him on a striped mat, a bare-chested priest in orange cloth and a rudraksha mala performs pada puja, while a man in a white shirt with a red pendant and a woman in a green-bordered white sari offer flowers and a lit oil lamp at a brass plate. Standing behind are men in white dhotis, one shaved-headed in white holding a fruit plate, another photographing the scene. Marigold strings and a flower tray lie on the floor.
